[Epidural gas aggregation in the course of gaseous degeneration of lumbar intervertebral disk as a cause of foot paresis].
The finding of gas within the vertebral disc space ("vacuum phenomenon") is relatively common. Degenerative spine disease, gaseous degeneration of the intervertebral disc, and epidural gas were disclosed on imaging study. The epidural gas could be attributed to gaseous disc degeneration. The nerve root in presented patient was compressed by epidural gas. Following surgery the clinical syndrome including foot drop has thoroughly resolved.
