ABSTRACT
PURPOSE OF THE STUDY The goal of this study was to demonstrate the relationship between herniated discs and congenital spinal stenosis. A retrospective study was conducted on patients seen in our center over a five year period. MATERIAL AND METHODS:
The CT-Scan evaluation was essential for the measurement of the diameter of the spinal canal. Data were compared with the values obtained in ten normal subjects.RESULTS:
Twelve complete charts of adolescents with herniated discs were reviewed and in all cases a spinal stenosis was established. The mean diameter of the canal was 8.1 mm for the patient group compared with 18.1 mm for the control group.CONCLUSION:
The relationship of herniated discs and spinal stenosis found here is greater than the one reported in the literature. This relationship accounts for the importance of neurological (9/12 patients) involvement found in our series in comparison with adults. This also explains the failure of conservative treatment.
