Somato-sensory evoked potentials in root lesions and stenosis of the spinal canal (their diagnostic significance in clinical decision making).

The aim of the present study was to determine the significance of different SEP techniques and parameters in clinical evaluation of cases of lumbar and cervical root lesions and stenosis of the spinal canal. Using a qualitative rating scale, 92 cases were analyzed retrospectively whose primary diagnosis was questioned because of conflicting data from clinical, neuroradiological and neurophysiological testing. In conclusion SEP techniques proved to be a useful tool in exclusing other e.g. demyelinating diseases. Except for the time-consuming method of segmental stimulation, the demonstration of the functional deficit itself by SEP techniques in general was frequently disappointing. The contribution of the different SEP parameters to clinical decision making and the clinical consequences are briefly discussed.

Spinal canal stenosis with hypophosphatemic vitamin D-resistant rickets: case report.

A 42-year-old woman with sex-linked hypophosphatemic vitamin D-resistant rickets presented with a 6-month history of progressive weakness and numbness in her lower extremities. Radiological studies revealed severe spinal canal stenosis extending from levels T4 to T10. Her symptoms improved markedly after extensive thoracic laminectomies.

[Endometrioid carcinoma of the spinal canal (author's transl)].

A woman, born in 1923, suffered since menarche of pain of the vertebra and has had a headache during menstrual periods. 1963 she developed a transverse lesion of the cord with an incomplete paraplegia because of an endometriosis externa of spinal canal. After a 12 years symptomless interval, she complained again of a transverse lesion. Histological examination disclosed an endometrioid carcinoma with infiltration of vertebral bodies. The rare occurrence of malignant transformation in endometriotic tissue is pointed out.

The fortune of a capacious spinal canal.

Injury to the spine may be either osseous, neural, or both. The neurological deficit may or may not be a reflection of the severity of the osseous injury. Patients having wide canals are more likely to have less neurological dysfunction than those having narrow canals.

[Clinical picture of diskopathy in patients with narrow lumbar spinal canal].

In a group of 400 patients operated upon at the Department of Neurology, Institute of Rheumatology in Warsaw in the years 1971-1978 for lumbar intervertebral disc prolapse in 20 cases (5%) canal stenosis was found as the cause of vertebral canal narrowing. Three clinical syndromes were isolated in this group: cauda equina intermittent claudication (4 cases), flaccid paraparesis of lower extremities (3 cases) and ischialgia with paralysis of an extremity (13 cases). The clinical and radiological features and pathogenetic factors in stenosis of the lower part of the vertebral canal are discussed. The good results of vertebral canal decompression are stressed.
