CLINICAL AND NEUROLOGICAL PECULIARITIES OF PATIENT DIAGNOSTICS WITH DEGENERATIVE PATHOLOGY OF THE LUMBAR SPINE

Keywords: intervertebral disc herniation, spinal canal stenosis, computed tomography- myelography, magnetic resonance imaging, and myelography

Abstract

The problem of degenerative-dystrophic diseases is relevant due to it’s high prevalence of pathology. The most common causes of lumbar spine pain are hernias of intervertebral discs and spinal canal stenosis. The lumbosacral spine is prone to present of intervertebral disc hernias due to the peculiarities of biomechanics, and is therefore the main cause of spinal surgery among adult population. The aim of this paper is is to analyze the literature and study the diagnostics of degenerative diseases of the lumbar spine. The analytical, bibliosemantic, system approach and system analysis methods were used in the work. We must use neuroimaging data for determing the localization of intervertebral disc herniation and concomitant spinal canal stenosis. Modern standardized set of research includes X-Ray functional spondylography, computed tomography (CT) and MRI. Progress in neurosurgery is more related to use MRI and CT due to it’s great informativeness. Application of a complex of neuroimaging techniques for degenerative-dystrophic diseases of lumbar spine allows to reduce the number of diagnostic errors and detect diseases in the early stages.
