The Spinal Canal

2019
The central spinal canal (or vertebral foramen) is first described at the different levels of the spine with its contents and the reserve space around the dura surrounding the cord to evaluate the dimensions (diameters or surface of the spinal canal). The lateral recess is then described in detail with the intervertebral foramen which together form the

ANEURYSM IN THE CERVICAL SPINAL CANAL

Medical Journal of Australia, 1980
The clinical course of an adult patient suffering from a very rare condition of an expanding aneurysm in the cervical spinal canal is described. This case was followed-up and fully documented from the commencement of the first symptoms to the ultimate result after successful surgery.

The Narrow Cervical Spinal Canal

Australasian Radiology, 1983
ABSTRACTAn element of developmental stenosis is present in a review of twelve patients presenting with cervical spondylotic myelopathy. Superimposed cervical spondylosis causes further canal narrowing to the extent that the minimal sagittal canal diameters of these patients measures from 5 mm to 10 mm.The maximal level of narrowing is at C3/C4 level ...

The Spinal Canal in Phocomelia and Amelia

Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 1969
SUMMARYIn phocomelic and amelic children the cervical and lumbar spinal canal is narrower than in normal children. There is no evidence that this is related to smaller cord size in these regions.SUMMARYIn phocomelic and amelic children the cervical and lumbar spinal canal is narrower than in normal children. There is no evidence that this is related to

Computed Tomography of the Spinal Canal

Radiology, 1976
The value of computed tomography (CT) in cases of spinal dysraphism, spinal canal narrowing and widening, and spinal bony abnormalities is discussed. With further experience, CT may become a valuable modality for the diagnosis of spinal diseases.

Neuroimaging of Spinal Canal Stenosis

Magnetic Resonance Imaging Clinics of North America, 2016
Spinal stenosis is common and presents in a variety of forms. Symptomatic lumbar stenosis occurs in approximately 10% of the population and cervical stenosis in 9% over age 70. Imaging is central to the management decision process and first-choice MR imaging may be substituted with CT and CT myelography.

Stenosis of the spinal canal in achondroplasia

The Italian Journal of Neurological Sciences, 1991
Stenosis of the spinal canal is a very frequent finding in achondroplastic patients. It is secondary to abnormalities of endochondrial ossification, which is responsible for formation of the vertebral bone structures, and, subsequently, to bone degeneration. Cervical stenosis (most frequently involving the first metameres and the craniospinal junction)

Foreign Objects in the Spinal Canal

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1979
To the Editor.— Although it is generally believed, as stated by Nino et al (240:1173, 1978), that "foreign objects should always be removed from the spinal canal," demonstration that removal of bone or lead fragments is actually of benefit remains unproved.

Anatomy of the Lumbar Spinal Canal

1988
1. In the lumbar spinal canal of the achondroplast there is decreased cross-sectional area. In addition the intervertebral foramina are narrow. These changes result in reduced area for the dural sac and exiting spinal nerves. 2. There is associated thoracolumbar kyphosis and a lumbosacral hyperlordosis.
