title: [An unrecognized cause of spinal pain : meningoradiculitis. Apropos of 3 cases with predominant spinal pain].
abstract: Meningoradiculitis can present as a very short episode of radicular pain in addition to vertebral column pain without stiffness, as described in these three cases. The diagnosis requires examination of the cerebrospinal fluid, which should be a routine part of the diagnostic work up for back pain when an inflammatory etiology can not be identified.
