Six patients with an aortoiliac vascular disease and a peripheral neurological deficit are presented. Clinical and electromyographic findings revealed lumbosacral plexus, sciatic and femoral nerve lesions. A correlation is made between the level of the vascular lesion (aortic, aortoiliac or distally) and the type of peripheral nerve deficit observed. In a patient complaining of pain, weakness, ...

An axial computed tomographic (CT) scan of the lumbosacral regions was performed in 65 patients. The patient population was divided into two groups. The first (control) group included 40 elderly patients without calcification of the ligamenta flava. The second group included 25 patients with ankylosing spondylitis. More than 90% of those in the second group showed calcified lumbosacral ligament...

Resumen Propósito. Presentar las ventajas de la secuencia IDEAL (Iterative Decomposition of water and fat with Echo Asymmetry and Least-squares estimation) en la evaluación de los nervios periféricos y plexos braquial (PB) y lumbosacro (PLS) para el diagnóstico de las neuropatías por atrapamiento o compresión, las neuropatías sin atrapamiento y las condiciones subyacentes. La secuencia IDEAL pr...
