conclusions although spinopelvic fracture dislocation injuries are severe high-energy entities, in cases with traumatic spondylolytic spondylolisthesis due to widening of the vertebral canal, neurologic deficit may not be seen at all. case presentation we described a 16-year-old girl with extremely severe axial trauma to the lumbosacral spine who presented with fracture dislocation of the lumbo...

cauda equina syndrome (ces) although uncommon, is a very serious condition, which should be diagnosed as soon as possible.  urinary dysfunction following a lumbosacral trauma is a key for the physician to consider ces as the most probable diagnosis. up to 62% of ces patients report a recent episode of trauma. we herein report a young man with ces due to sacral fracture with an interesting imaging.

Several computed tomographic (CT) examples of vertically oriented foramina in the neural arches of the lumbosacral vertebrae are presented. The literature is reviewed briefly, and the possible clinical and embryologic significance of these foramina is discussed.

A 30-year-old mechanical engineer suffering multiple asymtomatic papules on his face, especially around the nose was diagnosed as tuberous sclerosis. He had also Shagreen patches on his lumbosacral region, periungual fibromas on his toes. He had no history of seizure although there were small periventricular calcifications on cranial CT. We could not find any other features of tuberous sclerosi...

We describe the case of a 66 year old woman with a lumbosacral plexopathy secondary to the compression produced by a dermoid cyst of the omentum, a complication not previously reported.

Information concerning the rate of bladder filling is determined by receptors in the bladder wall and conveyed via afferent fibers in the pelvic nerve to sensory neurons in the lumbosacral cord. It was assumed that this information is relayed from the lumbosacral cord to a medial cell group in the dorsolateral pontine tegmentum, called the M-region, the pontine micturition center, or Barrington...
