[Computed tomographic variants of vertebrogenic lumbosacral radicular lesions in patients with radicular and non-radicular lumbar ischialgias].
The paper considers the CT features of vertebrogenic lumbosacral radicular lesions in patients with radicular and nonradicular lumbar ischialgias. Ninety patients were divided into three groups according to the degree of clinical manifestations of radicular disorders. Four CT patterns of radicular alterations were identified: dislocation, compression, aggregation, and conglomeration. There were differences in the frequency of different CT patterns in patients from different clinical groups. Combining the CT patterns of radicular lesions into occupational and contact types determined a correlation of the severity of radicular disorders and the occupational type of changes in the root.
