[Recurrent postoperative sciatica. Prospective evaluation of magnetic resonance imaging and x-ray computed tomography with iodine injection].

The respective performance of MRI and CT were studied prospectively in 80 cases. Surgery was indicated in 56 patients after MRI examination and 21 patients after CT; the 21 patients were included in the 56. Among these patients, 45 were reoperated and 11 preferred the medical treatment. Surgery confirmed the diagnosis for 44 patients (from the 45), and the only discordance was the presence of ligament calcification, associated to a disc protrusion not seen on MRI. Surgery confirmed also the diagnosis for the 21 cases diagnosed by CT after iodine injection. However, among the 24 cases of fibrosis diagnosed by CT after i.v. injection were found: 19 recurrent disc protrusions, 4 disc protrusions with fibrosis, and 1 disc protrusion at a level above the operated disc.

[The role of episacroiliac lipomas as a cause of pseudolumbago-sciatica syndromes].

With their research, the authors intend to recall the existence of episacroiliac lipomas. These growths are important in as much as they cause low lumbar pain where the objective and instrumental signs typical of radicular lumbar syndromes are not present. Amongst other routine instrumental tests the echo scan is suggested for a more precise record. A simple operation relieves pain once and for all.

[Sciatica caused by lateral stenosis of the spinal canal].

Eighty-eight patients (52 men, 36 women) were operated on for lateral recess syndrome, during the 1970-1986 period. 7 had priorly a disc excision; in 11 a chemonucleolysis had been performed. The pain affected one nerve root in 41 cases, two in 8, three in 1. In 33 patients the pain pattern was incomplete. Myelography was used in 77 cases, and was positive in 68. CT scan was used in 43 cases. A posterolateral fusion was added to the unroofing of the nerve in 9 patients, who had severe low back pain before surgery. The results were assessed with a special rating scale of 20 points. They were considered excellent or good in 70 per cent. 6 patients were reoperated from 3 months to 2 years post-operatively mainly for recurrent pain at another level or side.
