Engorgement of the epidural venous plexus (EVP) is a rare cause of nerve root impingement. Dilated epidural veins cause compression of the thecal sac and spinal nerve roots, leading to lumbar radiculopathy.Here we describe a case of severe lumbar Idiopathic epidural spinal lipomas are rare: only 13 cases have been described in the literature. We report a further case in an obese patient without known etiological factors. Diagnosis of epidural lipomatosis was performed by MRI. Weight reduction was obtained by conservative treatment, reserving
A 55-year-old obese man (body mass index, 31.6 kg/m(2)) presented radiating pain and motor weakness in the left leg. Magnetic resonance imaging showed an epidural mass posterior to the L5 vertebral body, which was isosignal to subcutaneous fat and it asymmetrically compressed the left side of the
The purpose of the present investigation is to reveal the specifics of the nutrition, nutritional behavior (habits), the prevalence of obesity and of certain chronic diseases among workers. The subjects were 264 workers (203 males and 61 females) from the ammonium production department of a
Want to demonstrate factors which effect appearance and severity of lumbosacral radiculopathy. We analysed 100 electromyoneurographically examined patients. Patients were categorised on bases of their BMI (body mass index), sex, age, job type (physical or intellectual job), and chronic diseases
METHODS
Prospective comparative cohort study.
OBJECTIVE
Investigate whether there is a difference in postoperative pain reduction, complication rate, and other markers of operative difficulty in obese and nonobese patients undergoing elective lumbar microdiscectomy by a single spinal
BACKGROUND
Spinal involvement is infrequent in chronic gout. However, some cases of back pain with radiculopathy secondary to this etiology have been reported.
METHODS
56-year old male patient, with history of arterial hypertension, hypertriglyceridemia, obesity, glucose intolerance and alcohol
BACKGROUND
Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a disorder of young obese females and characterized by headache, papilledema with raised intracranial pressure in the absence of known pathological cause. However, ophthalmoplegia is common presentation of IIH, limb weakness is rare and may
OBJECTIVE
The diagnosis, treatment, and postoperative care of morbidly obese patients undergoing spinal surgery require modifications for body habitus. With a growing percentage of the United States population becoming morbidly obese, the surgeon may need elective or emergency treatment plans that
Obesity increases complications and cost following spine surgery. However, the impact on sagittal alignment and adjacent segment degeneration (ASD) after anterior cervical decompression and fusion is less understood.To compare clinical and radiographic Multilevel lumbar interbody fusion (LIF) surgery in obese patients is problematic, with positioning and anaesthetic risks during posterior approaches, vascular and visceral complications during anterior approaches, and lack of access to L5/S1 during lateral approaches. Modified BACKGROUND
Obese and morbidly obese patients undergoing lumbar spinal fusion surgery are a challenge to the operating surgeon. Minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF) and open-TLIF have been performed for many years with good results; however, functional outcomes after
METHODS
Retrospective cohort study.
OBJECTIVE
To compare short- and long-term outcomes in obese versus nonobese patients undergoing instrumented posterolateral fusion of the lumbar spine.
BACKGROUND
Obesity is an important public health issue due to the negative effects on quality of life. Some
A young obese woman was admitted with vague aches and pains, including a headache. At first a provisional diagnosis of depression/myofacial pain syndrome was considered. Later, on evaluation, she was diagnosed to have hypothyroidism and vitamin D deficiency. One week into treatment, her neck pain
A 42-year-old, non-obese man with a three-month history of headache, pulsatile tinnitus, transient visual obscurations, and scintillations later developed low back pain with right lower extremity radiation. Brain MRI and magnetic resonance venography were normal, but spine MRI revealed a mass in the
