Glomus tumors are small, benign tumors that arise from glomus bodies, structures found normally within the dermis that assist in temperature regulation via their vasoconstrictive response to sympathetic stimuli. Glomus tumors are found typically in the hand and are classically a cause of focal pain
OBJECTIVE
Previous studies indicate that genetic variants in genes encoding proteins like matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) enzymes may affect degeneration of the intervertebral disk. One such genetic variant is a single nucleotide polymorphism insertion in the promoter region of the MMP1 gene, that
During the last seven years 14 patients with lumbar disc hernias were admitted who presented with a short period of sciatica before experiencing relief of pain accompanied by paresis. Ten patients had marked paresis and were operated on, most of them during the first week after the start of paresis.
The eponym Lasègue sign has been applied to the increase in sciatic pain caused by flexing the extended lower extremity on the abdomen. The sign was never put into writing by Lasègue but by his pupils. He did not describe the test in the usual reference, "Considerations on Sciatica," in 1864. That
METHODS
Comparison of occlusion of lumbar arteries in magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) with patient-reported sciatica symptoms during a 3-year follow-up.
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate whether occlusion of lumbar arteries is associated with subjective pain symptoms and physical ability among sciatica
METHODS
The phenotype of patients with sciatica who have the Trp2 allele is characterized cross-sectionally.
OBJECTIVE
To determine whether it is possible to differentiate patients with the Trp2 allele clinically or by magnetic resonance imaging.
BACKGROUND
Several studies have indicated a positive
METHODS
Retrospective case-control study.
OBJECTIVE
To determine whether kissing spine is a risk factor for recurrence of sciatica after lumbar posterior decompression using a spinous process floating approach.
BACKGROUND
Kissing spine is defined by apposition and sclerotic change of the facing
Four patients who had low-back pain and sciatica were diagnosed as having a lumbar intraspinal extradural synovial cyst adjacent to a facet joint between the fourth and fifth lumbar vertebrae. The patients ranged in age from forty-nine to seventy-one years, and the symptoms and signs involved the
As a significant determinant of low back pain, intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) has attracted more and more attention of both investigators and physicians. Disc herniation, termed as intervertebral disc displacement, is amongst the most prevalent spinal diseases closely linked with IDD. Due to
