Abstract

Although carpal tunnel syndrome and the lumbar spinal stenosis are completely different clinical entities, there are some reports of evidence that they both might be seen together in some conditions. This retrospective study was planned to research the correlation between the carpal tunnel syndrome and the lumbar spinal stenosis in the same person. Materials and methods: In our study, 860 patients with carpal tunnel syndrome and 228 patients with lumbar spinal stenosis in our clinic were evaluated in last three years. Results: Patients with a diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome patients were graded according to their reports as slightly, medium and heavy. A total of 134 patients (15 %) of them showed lumbar spinal stenosis at the same time. Seven of 305 patients with mild carpal tunnel syndrome also had lumbar spinal stenosis (2 %). For 422 patients with moderate carpal tunnel syndrome the present of lumbar spinal stenosis rate was 66 (15 %). 133 patients with severe degree of carpal tunnel syndrome in 61 (45 %) had a diagnosis of lumbar spinal stenosis. In LSS group; 40 patients had mild (17 %), 18 (8 %) had moderate, and 8 (4 %) had severe carpal tunnel syndrome. Conclusion: According to the literature the incidence of Carpal tunnel syndrome is less than 3 % whereas lower than 8 % for LSS in the general population. In our study, the presence of one of these diseases reveals that the incidence of the other is increasing in the general population. Under standard conditions in order to collect more reliable data on the subject conducted prospective studies on larger patient groups would be appropriate.

Özet

Geçmiş bilgiler: Karpal tünel sendromu ve lomber spinal stenoz, genellikle ligament hipertrofisine bağlı sinir bası bulgularıyla seyreden hastalıklardır. Bazı klinik durumların, bu hastalıkların görülme sıklığını artırdığı bilinmektedir. Bu çalışmada, karpal tünel sendromu ve lomber spinal stenoz görülen hastalarda beraber görülme insidansının ne olduğu sorusuna cevap aranmıştır. Hastalar ve yöntem: Çalışmada, hastanemizde son 3 yılda tanı almış 860 karpal tünel sendromu hastası ile, 228 lomber spinal stenoz hastası incelenmiştir. Bulgular: Karpal tünel sendromu tanısı alan 860 hastanın sonuçlarına göre hastalar hafif (305), orta (422) ve ağır (133) olarak derecelendirilmiştir. Toplam 134 hastada (% 15) lomber spinal stenozun eşlik ettiği belirlenmiştir. Hafif derecede karpal tünel sendromlu 305 hastanın 7’sinde (% 2), orta derece karpal tünel sendromlu 422 hastanın 66’sında (% 15), ağır derece karpal tünel sendromlu 133 hastanın 61’inde (% 45) lomber spinal stenoz saptanmıştır. Lomber spinal stenoz tanısı alan hastalardan ise hastaların 40 (% 17)’ında hafif, 18 (% 8)’inde orta, 8 (% 4)’inde ağır derecede karpal tünel sendromunun eşlik ettiği saptanmıştır. Sonuç: Yapılan çalışmalar, karpal tünel sendromu görülme insidansının genel popülasyonda % 3’ün altında, lomber stenoz insidansının ise % 8’in altında olduğunu göstermektedir. Lomber spinal stenoz ve karpal tünel sendromunun birlikte görülmesine yönelik bir araştırmaya literatürde rastlanmamaktadır. Bu çalışmada, birlikte görülme insidansları, normal popülasyonda görülme insidanslarından daha yüksek olup, karpal tüneldeki sıkışma bulguları ağırlaştıkça lomber spinal stenoz görülme sıklığının da arttığı saptanmıştır. Sonuç olarak bu çalışmanın verileri, lomber spinal stenoz veya karpal tünel sendromunun varlığında bir diğerinin de klinik tabloya eşlik edebileceği, bu nedenle azımsanmayacak oranlarda olan bu birlikteliğin akıldan çıkartılmaması gerektiği fikri ileri sürülmüştür.
