متن کاملMRI study of the lumbar spine in achondroplasia. A morphometric analysis for the evaluation of stenosis of the canal.
We carried out an MRI study of the lumbar spine in 15 patients with achondroplasia to evaluate the degree of stenosis of the canal. They were divided into asymptomatic and symptomatic groups.

متن کاملStenosis of the Lumbar Vertebral Canal
The midsagittal and interpedicular diameters and the trefoil shape of lumbar vertebrae of known age at death were measured in skeletons from a population aged between 1 and 70 years. All the trefoil configurations were at L5 with the exception of one at L4. The overall prevalence was 25%, but this shape was not generally apparent until adulthood. The midsagittal diameter in the trefoil canals w...
