Examination of Spinal Canal Anatomy with MRI Measurements in Lomber Disc Herniation Patients: An Anesthesiologist Viewpoint.

Background And Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of patients with lumbar disc herniation (LDH) to identify the challenges associated with neuraxial anesthesia.

Materials And Methods: The MRI images in the supine position of 203 patients admitted to hospital with complaints of lower back pain were studied. Medial sagittal slices of the lumbar spine were imaged from L1 to S1.
