11-APRIL-2010  ANWAR NOOR LUTFI AL-ATTAR  65 YEARS  LUMBAR CANAL STENOSIS L3-4 AND L4-5 WITH BILATERAL EXTRUSION OF L4-5.

Anamnesis

bullet

The patient came to the clinic 07-November-2007 complaining of LBP for 2 months  with right sciatica. MRI done 03-Nevember-2007 showing lumbar canal stenosis L4-5 with right far lateral extrusion and wide based extrusion of L3-4. The patient is a known diabetic insulin-dependent. There was weak dorsiflexion right foot 4/5. The patient was advised to undergo conservative treatment and he improved.

bullet

The patient then came 28-March-2010 complaining of LBP with bilateral sciatica more the left for more than 1 year, reaching the ankles. The patient could walk more than 1 Km .

bullet

MRI lumbar spine performed 12-March-2010 showing severe lumbar canal stenosis L3-4 and L4-5 with bilateral recess syndrome.

bullet

On examination: the patient has weak dorsiflexion left foot 3/5 and right foot 4/5. The patient now is under Caduet for 2 years for arterial hypertension.

bullet

Decompressive laminectomy L4 and partial of L3 and L5 was performed and the annulus fibrosis of L4-5 was checked for fresh extrusion. It was negative both sides. Foraminotomy of the right L5 root was performed easily, but it was necessary to extend it for 17 mm along the left L5 root to achieve acceptable release. Using the pedicle protocol of ISIS Inomed , study of both roots was performed. The right root was responding to 0.02 mA, but the left was responding to 0.35 mA.

bullet

Routine closure of the wound.

bullet

Smooth postoperative recovery, with full recovery of the power of both feet.


Comments

bullet

Lumbar canal stenosis is a progressive disease and the sooner the better the outcome.

bullet

Considering that the left L5 root was badly compressed, studying it with its counterpart, showed mild difference between the 2 nerves. But the functional status of the nerve was acceptable after decompression, for what prompt postoperative recovery was anticipated.

Please! wait for 3-5 min till the video start to load. It depends upon the internet connection.
