    Lumbar Stenosis: Name: Angie Espinoza Arízaga

    Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is a narrowing of the spinal canal that causes compression of the nerves. A 53-year-old patient presented with low back pain radiating down both legs after loading, and had a history of disc hernias at L3-L4 and L4-L5 treated with discectomy. Lumbar stenosis increases in incidence after age 50 and can be diagnosed using CT or MRI imaging. Surgery provides the most reliable relief for leg symptoms associated with lumbar stenosis but is less effective for relieving back pain.

    LUMBAR STENOSIS

    NAME: Angie Espinoza Arízaga


    LUMBAR STENOSIS
    Lumbar spinal stenosis
    (LSS) comprimes narrowing
    of the spinal canal with
    subsequent neural
    compression, and is
    frequently associated with
    symptoms of neurogenic
    claudication .
    CLINICAL CASE

    The patient of 53-year-old

    Complaint of lumbalgia in the L5–S1 region


    in situations of constant loading, with
    irradiation of both legs.

    For two years


    RECEIVED TREATMENT OF:

    ANALGESIA NSAIDs
    ANTECEDENTS
    L3-L4
    Disc hernia
    L4-L5

    Having undergoing
    classical lumbar
    discectomy.
    DISCUSSION

    The incidence of lumbar stenosis in the general


    population is between 1.7% and 8%

    Increases from fifty years


    TYPES OF LUMBAR STANOSIS
    The diagnosis of lumbar
    stenosis can be confirmed
    through using computed
    tomography.

    And magnetic
    resonance
    imaging
    CONCLUSION
    Lumbar Spinal Stenosis is a low back condition,
    where by the spinal canal (central stenosis), one
    or more of the spinal foramens (narrowing) is
    narrowed.

    Surgery is most reliable for the relief


    of leg symptoms but less reliable for
    the relief of back pain.
