Epilepsy in patients with spina bifida in the lumbosacral region

Neurosurgical Review, 2006
This study aimed to assess the relevance of epilepsy and spina bifida in the lumbosacral region. We evaluated 75 patients with spina bifida admitted to the Kyushu University Hospital from 1980 to 2004. Patients were classified as having meningocele (MC, 4 cases), myelomeningocele (MMC, 6), myeloschisis (MS, 45), and lumbosacral lipoma (LL, 20).

Changes and measurement of height and angle in the lumbosacral region [PDF]

Archives of Orthopaedic and Traumatic Surgery, 1984
A lumbosacral trapezium can be constructed using the parallels to the lower plate L4 and the upper plate S1 and two perpendiculars to the former; it yields exact measurement data for changes in height and curvature in the lower lumbar motion segments.

Vertical foramina in the lumbosacral region: CT appearance

American Journal of Roentgenology, 1984
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.

Surgical Management of Giant Schwannoma in the Lumbosacral Region

Journal of Spinal Disorders, 1998
Giant lumbosacral schwannoma is rare and only 11 cases have been reported. We experienced two cases: a 58-year-old woman with recurrent schwannoma from L2 to S3, and a 52-year-old woman with schwannoma from T12 to L5. Total resection was possible in the latter case, which was the patient's first operation.

Lipectomy of the Ilio-Lumbosacral Region

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2004
In the past, several techniques for raising the gluteal mass have been described, all of which were based on dermolipectomies of major or minor extension. The main disadvantage of these dermolipectomies is the visible external scar. The author presents his technique for lipectomy of the ilio-lumbosacral region.

Chronic inflammatory lumbosacral polyradiculopathy: A regional variant of CIDP

Muscle & Nerve, 2011
AbstractChronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) affects various components and segments of the peripheral nervous system differently, and thus there can be phenotypic heterogeneity. We report a 47‐year‐old woman with chronic sensory disturbances and proximal weakness limited to the legs.

Classification by Position of Dorsal Root Ganglia in the Lumbosacral Region

Spine, 1989
In order to determine the incidence of the proximally placed L5 and S1 dorsal root ganglia, 144 patients with lumbosacral radiculopathy were investigated. All of the patients underwent nerve root infiltration for depicting the nerve root. Using some bony landmarks on the anteroposterior radiculogram, the dorsal root ganglia were classified into three ...

EFFECTIVE METHOD OF STRAPPING THE LUMBOSACRAL REGION

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1957
After the trial of several methods, over many years, of treating the acute back pain which usually starts as a catch or painful sensation when an individual who has bent over to pick something up (thus flexing the lumbar spine and hips while the knees are straight) starts to resume the erect position, I have been able to provide considerable immediate ...

Biomechanical changes in the lumbosacral region

2001
The problem of surgical approach to the spinal canal, especially in operation of the intervertebral disc, has notyet been solved. In the literature we find different and sometimes even contradictory opinions concerning interhemilaminectomy, hemilaminectomy or complete laminectomy.

Hoxd10induction and regionalization in the developing lumbosacral spinal cord

Development, 2001
We have used Hoxd10 expression as a primary marker of the lumbosacral region to examine the early programming of regional characteristics within the posterior spinal cord of the chick embryo. Hoxd10 is uniquely expressed at a high level in the lumbosacral cord, from the earliest stages of motor column formation through stages of motoneuron axon ...
