Chronic Lumbar Epidural Hematoma in a Patient Suffering With Spondylolytic Spondylolisthesis at the L4-5 Level: A Case Report
rare clinical entity and the majority of these conditions are thought to result from rupture of the epidural vascular network. Hemorrhagic lumbar synovial cysts (1) and a hematoma occurring from the ligamentum flavum (2) or from a lumbar facet joint (3) have been reported as rare types of epidural hematoma. We report here on the radiologic and surgical findings of a case of chronic nontraumatic...
متن کاملThe correlation between radiographic and pathologic grading of lumbar facet joint degeneration
BACKGROUND Before performing spine non-fusion surgery that retains the facet joints, choosing an accurate radiographic method to evaluate the degree of facet joint degeneration is extremely important. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine the accuracy and reliability of different radiographic classifications by analyzing the correlation between radiographic and pathologic grad...
متن کاملOrientation of lumbar pars defects: implications for radiological detection and surgical management.
Lateral oblique radiographs are considered important for the identification of spondylolytic lesions, but these projections will give a clear view only when the radiological beam is in the plane of the defect. We studied the variation in orientation of spondylolytic lesions on CT scans of 34 patients with 69 defects. There was a wide variation of angle: only 32% of defects were orientated withi...

Study Design Adult human osteologic specimens were assessed for spondylolytic defects and characterized. Objectives To characterize and determine the prevalence of spondylolytic defects in an osteological collection. Methods Lumbar vertebrae from the Hamann-Todd Osteological Collection at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History were examined. Digital images of specimens with L5 isthmic spondylo...
متن کاملThe nature of the spondylolytic defect. Demonstration of a communicating synovial pseudarthrosis in the pars interarticularis.
We injected methylene blue dye into 32 of the facet joints immediately above the defects in 17 consecutive patients with bilateral spondylolysis (34 defects). In 30 of these the dye flowed into a central cavity in the defect of the pars interarticularis and in 20 it passed into the facet joint below the defect. We found macroscopic cavities in 32 of the defects which communicated with the adjac...
