Abstract

Introduction: Lumbar spinal canal stenosis (LSCS) is the most common spinal disorder in elderly patients. Ligamentum flavum (LF) hypertrophy contributes to the development of this disorder. We examined the correlations between LF thickness, measured on the magnetic resonanceimages, and age, gender, LSCS, disc degeneration, and disc herniation.Materials and Method: Three hundred and forty patients complaining of low back pain were evaluated (mean age: 57.8±11.2 years). LF thickness was measured at the L2-3, L3-4, L4-5,and L5-S1 levels using axial T1-weighted magnetic resonance images at the facet joint level. Allpatients were examined for spinal stenosis, disc degeneration, and disc herniation.Results: LF thickness was significantly greater in the LSCS group at the L2-3, L3-4, and L4-5levels (p

Özet

Girifl: Lumbar spinal kanal stenozu (LSKS) yafllı hastalarda sık görülen spinal hastalıktır. Ligamentum flavum (LF) hipertofisi bu hastalığın geliflimine katkıda bulunur. Bu manyetik rezonansgörüntülemede LF kalınlığı ile yafl, cinsiyet, LSKS, disk dejenerasyonu ve disk herniasyonu arasındaki iliflki incelenmifltir.Gereç ve Yöntem: Bel ağrısı flikayeti bulunan 340 hasta değerlendirildi (ortalama yafl:57.8±11.2 yıl). LF kalınlığı, facet eklem düzeyindeki aksiyal T1-ağırlıklı manyetik rezonan görüntüler kullanılarak L2-3, L3-4, L4-5 ve L5-S1 düzeylerinden ölçüldü. Spinal stenoz varlığı, disk dejenerasyonu ve disk herniasyonu hastalarda değerlendirildi. Bulgular: LF kalınlığı LSKS bulunan grupta L2-3, L3-4 ve L4-5 düzeylerinde belirgin büyüktü(p < 0.05). Tüm düzeylerde LF kalınlığı yafl ile artmaktaydı (p0.05). LF tüm düzeylerde Pfirrmann grade I-III dejenerasyonu bulunanlardan,grade IV-V dejenerasyonu bulunan hastalarda belirgin kalındı (p0.05).Sonuç: Yafllı hastalarda LF kalınlığı yafl, LSKS, spinal düzey ve disk dejenerasyonu ile koreledir ancak disk herniasyonu ve cinsiyet ile korele değildir
