[Non-discal sciatica secondary to a cystic lesion of the posterior longitudinal ligament. 10 cases].

Cyst of the longitudinal posterior ligament of the spine is a new entity described here on the basis of 10 cases. This is a lesion, perhaps of traumatic origin, which occurs in young, athletic subjects suffering from classical lumbosciatica. Computerized tomography showed an image resembling nucleus pulposus herniation. In one of our cases magnetic resonance imaging provided the preoperative diagnosis. Following surgery the outcome was favourable, with less postoperative complications than with discal herniation. The macroscopic and histological findings were the same in all cases, making the anatomico-pathological diagnosis easy.

[Value of transfemoral lumbar phlebology in narrow lumbar canals (author's transl)].

Lumbar phlebology satisfies the three essential criteria for pre-operative investigation: 1) it confirms and defines the extent and morphological type of N.L.C. according to several characteristic signs (progressive approaching of the L.E.P., absence of injection of the L.E.P., reduced opacification of the L.E.P.). 2) it enables measurement of the degree of constraint of the vascular and nervous tissues in the spinal canal by studying the emissary veins. 3) it can detect any vertebral disc lesion present, by studying the L.E.P. This additional clinical investigation, which the authors found to be quite safe, complements conventional radiological examinations, tomography, and sacroradiculography with Dimer X, during pre-operative investigational procedures.
