ΔΙΑΛΕΙΠΟΥΣΑ ΧΩΛΟΤΗΣ ΤΗΣ ΙΠΠΟΥΡΙΔΟΣ

INTERMITTENT CLAUDICATION OF THE CAUDA EQUINA IS CAUSED BY COMPRESSION OF THE CAUDA EQUINA OR ITS ROOTS WITHIN A NARROWED LUMBAR SPINAL CANAL. IT IS CHARACTERIZED MAINLY BY SENSORY SYMPTOMS RELATED TO EXERCISE OR TO CERTAIN BODY POSITIONS. PAIN IS USUALLY PRESENT IN CASES DUE TO LATERAL LUMBAR DISC PROTRUSION AND IN OTHER CASES IF PRESENT HAS PARAESTHETIC QUALITIES. TWO THEORIES ARE ACCEPTED FOR THE SYMPTOM PRODUCTION MECHANISM: THE MECHANICAL WHICH ATTRIBUTES THE SYMPTOMS TO THE EXTENTION OF THE LUMBAR SPINE, AND THE VASCULAR WHICH ATTRIBUTES THE APPEARANCE OF SYMPTOMS AFTER EXERCISE TO ARTERIAL INSUFFICIENCY OF THE CAUDA EQUINA ROOTS. EXAMINATION OF THE PATIENTS AT REST DISCLOSES FEW NEUROLOGICAL ABNORMALITIES AND THIS DISPARITY BETWEEN SYMPTOMS AND SIGNS HAS DIAGNOSTIC EXAMINATION MAY DISCLOSE MOTOR AND SENSORY DISTURBANCES ABSCENT AT REST. TREATMENT IS ONLY SURGICAL AND CONSISTS OF DISC EXCISION OR OF WIDE LAMINECTOMY.
