Intra-operative identification of conjoined lumbosacral nerve roots: a report of three cases.
We report 3 cases of conjoined nerve root anomalies identified during micro-endoscopic discectomy (MED). Between 2009 and 2010, 61 men and 20 women aged 18 to 84 (mean, 42) years underwent MED for symptomatic lumbar disc herniation of L3-4 (n=1), L4-5 (n=44), and L5-S1 (n=36). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), myelogram, and postmyelo computed tomography did not identify the anomalies. All 3 pa...

متن کاملAnomalies of the lumbosacral nerve roots.
The congenital anomalies of the lumbosacral nerve roots have frequently been found in the past as operative findings during surgery for protruded disc and are today diagnosed preoperatively with increasing frequency. They include the more cranial or more caudal origin of a nerve root, the conjoined structure of two roots and the anastomoses between two or more roots. This study reviews the larg...
