[Stenosis of the lumber spine. Clinical picture, diagnosis, treatment (author's transl)].
Disc herniation is the most common reason for sciatica followed by osseous entrapment syndromes of the cauda equina. The osseous entrapment of nervous structures is possible within 3 segments of the spinal canal, the center, the recess and the intervertebral foramen. In all cases there is a disproportion of the size of the nervous structures and osseous gliding space. Central lumbar spinal stenosis is associated in 70% with limping (neurogenic claudication) which is often misinterpreted as vascular claudication. Clinic, diagnosis, therapy of lumbar spinal stenosis is described.
