Ligamentum flavum haematoma: a report of two cases.
We present 2 cases of ligamentum flavum haematoma causing root compression. Magnetic resonance imaging showed an epidural mass linked to the ligamentum flavum. The mass was isointense in T1-weighted images, and was centrally hyperintense and peripherally hypointense in T2-weighted images. Surgical removal of the ligamentum flavum achieved resolution of the symptoms. The definitive diagnosis cou...
متن کاملLigamentum flavum hematoma in the lumbar spine.
A patient who presented with symptoms suggestive of nerve root compression secondary to an extradural mass was found to have a hematoma in the ligamentum flavum. Pathological examination of surgical specimens revealed an old hemorrhage, and hemosiderin deposits around organized granulation tissue within the ligamentum flavum. Vessels within the ligamentum flavum had, presumably, ruptured during...
متن کاملExperimental Mouse Model of Lumbar Ligamentum Flavum Hypertrophy
Lumbar spinal canal stenosis (LSCS) is one of the most common spinal disorders in elderly people, with the number of LSCS patients increasing due to the aging of the population. The ligamentum flavum (LF) is a spinal ligament located in the interior of the vertebral canal, and hypertrophy of the LF, which causes the direct compression of the nerve roots and/or cauda equine, is a major cause of ...
متن کاملHaemorrhagic Lumbar Juxtafacet Cyst with Ligamentum Flavum Involvement
Juxtafacet cysts are an uncommon cause of radiculopathy. They occur most frequently in the lumbar region, and their distribution across the spine correlates with mobility. Haemorrhagic complications are rare and may occur in the absence of any provocation, although there is some association with anticoagulation and trauma. We present a case of acute radiculopathy due to an L5/S1 juxtafacet cyst...
