Abstract

Aim: The aim of the current study is to determine normal sagittal diameters of spinal canal from L1 to L5 level by using Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Knowledge of normal values of vertebral canal is very important for the lumbar region surgeries and the diagnosis of vertebral canal stenosis. Methods: This study was conducted with 149 adults (87 males and 62 females) with the mean age of 33.65±6.84 (aged between 20-45 years) retrospectively. The spinal canal diameters were measured on MRI sagittal T2 weighted images. Results: The spinal canal sagittal diameters were found to be 1.65±0.17 cm, 1.65±0.2 cm at L1 level, 1.54±0.15 cm, 1.58±0.21 at L2 level, 1.45±0.17 cm, 1.49±0.22 cm at L3 level, 1.43±0.21 cm, 1.50±0.29 cm at L4 level and 1.48±0.28 cm, 1.50±0.32 cm at L5 level respectively for males and females. There were no statistically significant differences between genders for spinal canal diameters in L1 to L5. Conclusions: To our belief our study results will make a contribution to the literature for lumbar region surgery and be useful for the diagnosis of vertebral canal stenosis by determining normal values.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, manyetik rezonans görüntüleme yöntemi kullanarak lumbar (L)1- L5 seviyeleri arasında canalis vertebralis sagittal çapının normal ölçülerini belirlemektir. Canalis vertebralis normal değerlerinin bilinmesi lumbar bölge cerrahisinde ve canalis vertebralis darlığının teşhisinde çok önemlidir. Yöntem: Bu çalışmada, retrospektif olarak T2 ağırlıklı MRG kullanılarak, ortalama 33.65±6.84 yaşlarında (20-45 yaş arası) 149 (87 erkek, 62 kadın) yetişkinde canalis vertebralis sagittal çapı ölçüldü. Bulgular: Canalis vertebralis sagittal çapı erkeklerde ve kadınlarda sırası ile L1 seviyesinde 1.65±0.17 cm, 1.65±0.2 cm; L2 seviyesinde 1.54±0.15 cm, 1.58±0.21 cm, L3 seviyesinde 1.45±0.17 cm, 1.49±0.22 cm; L4 seviyesinde 1.43±0.21 cm, 1.50±0.29 cm ve L5 seviyesinde 1.48±0.28 cm, 1.50±0.32 cm olarak bulunmuştur. Cinsiyet bakımından L1 ve L5 seviyeleri arasında canalis vertebralis sagittal çapı açısından istatistiksel anlamlı bir farklılık yoktu. Sonuç: Çalışma sonuçlarımızın canalis vertebralis lumbar bölge sagittal çapına ait normal değerlerinin belirlenmesi ile lumbar bölge cerrahisi için literatüre katkı sağlayacağına ve canalis vertebralis darlığının teşhisinde faydalı olacağına inanmaktayız.
