[Radiographic diagnosis of sacral meningeal cysts].

The aim of this study was to establish the incidence and morphological variety of sacral meningeal cysts as well as proposing diagnostic algorithm in dubious cases. A series of 1800 radicular-radiographies has been retrospectively analysed and 17 cases of a terminal cistern enlargement have been found (0.94%). Three types of cysts have emerged depending on its communication with the cerebral fluid reservoir. Two cases have illustrated the suggestion of performing CT scan instead of epidural administration of the contrast agent in case of suspected pathological mass within sacral spinal canal.

[Attempts at hierarchic classification of radio-morphologic changes of the lumbar spine in screening examinations].

An objective evaluation of condition of the spine in candidates for study and employment in continuous and excessive loading of the lumbar spine is difficult because of the lack of suitable criteria classifying pathomorphological changes found on X-ray examination. In order to fill this gap, the authors analyzed 85 X-ray pictures of the lumbar spine of candidates within the preliminary screening examinations. A 5-points-scale considering the clinical value of individual deviations in lumbar spine structure was accepted. On the basis of that research the groups of the examined were determined: able to physical work (0-3 points), admitted on condition (4 points) and disqualified (5 points and over). On the basis of this model 57.6 per cent of the candidates were disqualified and only 25.9 per cent were admitted to study and work with no conditions.

[Spondylolisthesis of L5 and retrospondylolisthesis of L4].

A group of 106 cases of I. isthmic spondylolisthesis of L5 was divided into two subgroups: "A", without retrospondylolisthesis(n = 51) and "B", with retrospondylolisthesis of L4 (n = 55). A spondylometric analysis took into account the line of static loading, lumbar lordosis, the Fergusson's angle, the angles of the L4L5 and L5S1 intervertebral disks, and their heights. The measurements showed that a statistically significant difference occurs in the medium values of incidence of the line of static loading. It would confirm the thesis about the compensatory character of the position in retrospondylolisthesis of the L4 vertebra in consequence of disturbances of statics caused by isthmic spondylolisthesis of L5. Furthermore, this interdependence occurring in 52 per cent of the cases manifests possibility of complications caused by instability in the segment above spondylolisthesis.

[Contemporary methods of imaging injuries of the spine and spinal cord].

A review of current methods of visualization of injuries of the axial organ on the basis of the literature from the last decade, including also the author's own experience, has been done. The techniques of visualization accessible in Poland have been discussed more widely.
