Abstract

Aim: Intervertebral disc herniation is a very common neurosurgical pathology.A prospective, controlled cohort study was conducted to assess whether sleeping position is important or not in the formation of lumbar disc hernia in etiology. Because according to the sleeping position the rotational force applied to the lumbar region may differ. Method: This is a prospective study carried out between 2007-2008 in 84 patients to be operated with lumbar disc hernia at two different level. The patients were grouped into two groups according to their sleeping position habits before they get ill. Conclusion: We find that there was a statistically significant relations between cross leg position and occurance of disc herniation when compared to adjoined legs position.

Özet

Amaç: İntervertebral disk herniasyonu çok sık görülebilen bir nöroşirürjikal patolojidir. Burada bir prospektif, kontrollü kohort çalışma ile uyuma pozisyonu alışkanlıklarının lomber disk hernisi etyolojisinde önemi olup olmadığı araştırılmıştır. Uyuma pozisyonları esnasında lomber bölgeye binen rotasyonel kuvvetler farklı olabilmektedir. Yöntem: 2007-2008 yılları arasında kliniğimizde opere edilen 84 hasta üzerinde prospektif olarak çalışma gerçekleştirilmiştir. Hastalar lomber disk hernisi tanısı almadan önceki uyuma pozisyonu alışkanlıklarına göre 2 gruba ayrılmışlardır. Üstteki bacak öne çaprazlayarak yan yatanlar ve dizler bitişik yan yatanlar şeklinde gruplar oluşturulmuştur. Bulgular: Bacaklar çapraz şekilde uyuma pozisyonu alışkanlığına sahip olanlarda, dizler bitişik şekilde uyuma pozisyonu alışkanlığına sahip olanlara göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı şekilde daha fazla lomber disk hernisi oluşabileceği tespit edilmiştir.
