متن کاملCorrelation of lateral stenosis in MRI with symptoms, walking capacity and EMG findings in patients with surgically confirmed lateral lumbar spinal canal stenosis
BACKGROUND To evaluate the clinical significance of lateral lumbar spinal canal stenosis (LLSCS), found by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), through correlating the imaging findings with patient symptoms, walking capacity and electromyography (EMG) measurements. METHOD 102 patients with symptoms of LSS referred for operative treatment were studied in this uncontrolled study. Of these patients...
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.

We describe a patient who developed involuntary, painless, dystonic contraction of the toes of the right foot on standing or walking. The development of this abnormal movement had been preceded by sensory disturbance on the soles of both feet, triggered by dorsiflexion of the feet. Examination showed that weight bearing on the right foot and walking brought on clawing of the toes of the right f...
