New Diagnostic Tool for Far Lateral Lumbar Disc Herniation : The Clinical Usefulness of 3-Tesla Magnetic Resonance Myelography Comparing with the Discography CT
OBJECTIVE To prospectively assess the diagnostic and clinical value of a new technique (3-tesla magnetic resonance myelography, 3T MRM) as compared to computed tomographic discography (disco-CT) in patients with far lateral disc herniation. METHODS We evaluated 3T MRM and disco-CT of 25 patients, whom we suspected of suffering from far lateral disc herniation. Using an assessment scale, 4 obs...
متن کاملCorrelation of 1.5 Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging with Clinical and Intraoperative Findings for Lumbar Disc Herniation
STUDY DESIGN A single-center prospective study. PURPOSE A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan is undeniably the gold standard for the diagnosis of a lumbar disc prolapse. Unfortunately it shares a strong association with incidental findings. In this study, we aimed to determine the extent to which a 1.5 Tesla MRI correlates with the clinical features and intraoperative findings in cases of ...
متن کاملUtility of Discography as a Preoperative Diagnostic Tool for Intradural Lumbar Disc Herniation
Preoperative definitive diagnosis of intradural lumbar disc herniation (ILDH) is difficult despite the availability of various neuroradiological investigative tools. We present a case of ILDH diagnosed preoperatively by discography and computed tomography-discography (disco-CT).The patient was a 63-year-old man with acute excruciating right leg pain. Discography and disco-CT demonstrated leakag...
متن کاملIntraforaminal and extraforaminal far lateral lumbar disc herniation ( a review of 63 cases)
Abstract Background: Far lateral discal herniation is an uncommon disorder and is difficult to assess by physical examination alone. This study is designed to define clinical and epidemiological findings and to establish the indications of surgical and medical treatment for FLLDH. Methods: Between 2000 and 2005, a total of 2035 patients with lumbar disc herniation underwent surgical...
متن کاملCombined approach for far-lateral lumbar disc herniation.
This study evaluated the combination of the classical interlaminar approach and the intertransverse route through a midline approach for the treatment of 18 patients with far-lateral lumbar disc herniations, as identified by magnetic resonance imaging. The patients presented with acute severe sciatica, antalgic posture, positive Lasègue sign and femoral stretch test, motor and sensory deficits,...
