Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) occurs when bony, ligamentous, and synovial elements of the lower axial spine degenerate and overgrow, compressing neural and vascular elements in the spinal canal. Compression can cause static back pain, radicular lower extremity pain, or neurogenic claudication. Radiological and clinical findings are needed to diagnose lumbar stenosis.

Introduction: With increasing age, ubiquitous degeneration processes lead to a narrowing of the spinal canal. Degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis (DLSS) causes functional disability and is associated with back and lower extremity pain in older individuals. The goal of this study was to determine if decompression surgery can be performed safely and provide a stable benefit in our octogenarian patient population.

Study Design: An outcome study of patients with neurogenic claudication and/or sciatica with hidden stenosis, detected only by axial loading of the lumbar spine (ACE) but not at the traditional unloaded examination (psoas relaxed position) during computed tomography (CT) myelography or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), followed up after surgery.
Objective: To estimate the clinical effect of decompression with or without fusion in patients with hidden stenosis in the lumbar spine.
Summary Of Background Data: A number of patients with neurogenic claudicatio with or without sciatica do not have corresponding imaging abnormalities.

Lumbar spinal stenosis is one of the most frequent causes of spinal surgical interventions in over 60-year olds. The exact relationship between degenerative changes and the resulting symptoms is unclear since imaging shows stenotic changes in the spines of many symptom-free patients. The concurrence of imaging findings, the symptoms described and manifestations is crucial for the indication of surgical decompression.
