Dorsal Spinal Ligamentum Flavum Thickening: A Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study
Study Design A retrospective radiological study of the ligamentum flavum (LF). Purpose We determined the relationship of dorsal spinal LF thickening with age and sex using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We also determined whether LF thickening has a predominant tendency to occur at a specific dorsal level and on a specific side. Overview of Literature Many researchers have studied LF thi...
متن کاملThickness of the Ligamentum Flavum: Correlation with Age and Its Asymmetry-An Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study
STUDY DESIGN A retrospective radiological study of the ligamentum flavum (LF). PURPOSE This study is an attempt to measure and compare the thickening of the LF on both the sides with the use of magnetic resonance imaging, to investigate if there is a predominant tendency to thicken a specific side and also to determine if a correlation between the thickening of the LF and increasing age exist...
متن کاملDynamic Changes of the Ligamentum Flavum in the Cervical Spine Assessed with Kinetic Magnetic Resonance Imaging
The purpose of this article is to quantify changes in thickness of the ligamentum flavum (LF) associated with motion of the cervical spine and to compare the thickness of the LF at each cervical level using kinetic magnetic resonance imaging (kMRI). Two hundred fifty-seven symptomatic patients (129 men; 128 women) underwent kMRI in neutral, flexion, and extension positions. Midsagittal images w...
متن کاملRadiologic imaging of symptomatic ligamentum flavum thickening with and without ossification.
Thickening of the ligamenta flava with and without ossification in the thoracic and lumbar regions is a frequent finding on CT scanning; however, it is not widely appreciated as a possible primary cause of compressive cord, cauda equina, and nerve-root symptoms. We present observations from a series of seven patients whose symptoms were caused exclusively or largely by thickened ligamenta flava...
