Spinal Root Recorded in the Lumbo-Sacral Epidural Space, and its Clinical Application.

Lumbo-sacral interbody spinal fusion.

During the years from 1948 to 1956 a lumbo-sacral inter-body spinal fusion was done on forty-eight patients through a posterior approach. The operations have been divided chronologically into three groups. Improvements in the surgical technique were added in the two later groups, so that ultimately a new operative procedure was evolved and used in the last group, which gave the highest rate of ...

Primary Lumbo-sacral Spinal Epidural Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma: A Case Report and Review of Literature

We present a case of 24-year-old male presented with low back pain radiating to the left lower limb, tingling numbness and weakness of 6 months duration. Magnetic resonance imaging scan with contrast reveals an extradural mass at lumbosacral region. Patient was operated with laminectomy and complete excision of the lesion was done. Patient's radicular pain relieved following the surgery and wea...

Combined Sacral Spinal Epidural Anesthesia

Lumbo-sacral arthrodesis after laminectomy.

The necessity for arthrodesis of the lumbo-sacral spine after laminectomy has been performed arises mainly in the treatment of spondylolisthesis and some lesions of the intervertebral discs. In most cases of spondylolisthesis the lamina is loose and unattached to its body, so it can play no useful part in the fusion operation. Apart from this, it should in all cases be removed to allow a thorou...

Spinal evoked responses recorded from the epidural space in normal and diseased humans.

In 22 subjects, including normal subjects and patients with radicular or spinal cord lesions, the authors studied the spinal evoked responses recorded extradurally after stimulating mixed limb nerves. The responses obtained are discussed with particular reference to the clinical value of the changes in amplitude and latency of the spinal evoked potential with particular lesions.
