Analysis of Degenerative Discs in Lumbar Spondylolisthesis Using MRI T2 Mapping
Background: Spinal instability, including lumbar degenerative spondylolisthesis (DS), mainly results from degeneration of intervertebral discs (IVD) and the facet joints (FJ). Characterization of the relationship between IVD degeneration in cases of lumbar degenerative spondylolisthesis (DS), and T2 values may be useful for accurate noninvasive evaluation and subsequent treatment. Thus, the goa...
متن کاملInvestigation of intervertebral disc and facet joint in lumbar spondylolisthesis using T2 mapping.
PURPOSE We measured T2 relaxation time of the intervertebral discs (IVD) and facet joints (FJ) in patients with degenerative spondylolisthesis (DS) and no spondylolisthesis (NS) and investigated the characteristics of these parts in DS. METHODS In 40 patients with DS and 40 patients with NS, we measured T2 relaxation time of the IVD and FJ and compared them between groups. In the group with D...
متن کاملOperative treatment of degenerative lumbar spine spondylolisthesis.
INTRODUCTION Management of degenerative lumbosacral spondylolisthesis with spinal stenosis is still controversial. Surgery is widely used, as well as non-surgical treatment. AIM To evaluate the clinical results and functional outcome after operative treatment in Grade II and III lumbar spine spondylolisthesis. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twelve patients with symptoms and image-confirmed degenerati...
متن کاملTranslaminar Approach To Herniated Lumbar Discs In Old Patients With Degenerative Spondylolisthesis
In increasing frequency, we are confronted with very old patients presenting with symptomatic degenerative spinal diseases. Many of these patients have significant comorbidity and minimally invasive treatment strategies are desirable. We report the case of an 87-year old woman with intolerable radicular pain caused by large disc herniation with intraforaminal extension in the presence of degene...
متن کاملSurgical management of lumbar degenerative spondylolisthesis.
Lumbar degenerative spondylolisthesis (DS) is a common cause of low back pain, radiculopathy, and/or neurogenic claudication. Treatment begins with a trial of nonsurgical methods, including physical therapy, NSAIDs, and epidural corticosteroid injections. Surgical treatment with decompression and fusion is recommended for patients who do not respond to this initial regimen. Although much has be...
