- W3125278319 abstract "BACKGROUND Redundant nerve roots (RNRs) of the cauda equina are often a natural evolutionary part of lumbar spinal canal stenosis secondary to degenerative processes characterized by elongated, enlarged, and tortuous nerve roots in the superior and/or inferior of the stenotic segment. Although magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings have been defined more frequently in recent years, this condition has been relatively under-recognized in radiological practice. In this study, lumbar MRI findings of RNRs of the cauda equina were evaluated in spinal stenosis patients. AIM To evaluate RNRs of the cauda equina in spinal stenosis patients. METHODS One-hundred and thirty-one patients who underwent lumbar MRI and were found to have spinal stenosis between March 2010 and February 2019 were included in the study. On axial T2-weighted images (T2WI), the cross-sectional area (CSA) of the dural sac was measured at L2-3, L3-4, L4-5, and L5-S1 levels in the axial plane. CSA levels below 100 mm2 were considered stenosis. Elongation, expansion, and tortuosity in cauda equina fibers in the superior and/or inferior of the stenotic segment were evaluated as RNRs. The patients were divided into two groups: Those with RNRs and those without RNRs. The CSA cut-off value resulting in RNRs of cauda equina was calculated. Relative length (RL) of RNRs was calculated by dividing the length of RNRs at mid-sagittal T2WI by the height of the vertebral body superior to the stenosis level. The associations of CSA leading to RNRs with RL, disc herniation type, and spondylolisthesis were evaluated. RESULTS Fifty-five patients (42%) with spinal stenosis had RNRs of the cauda equina. The average CSA was 40.99 ± 12.76 mm2 in patients with RNRs of the cauda equina and 66.83 ± 19.32 mm2 in patients without RNRs. A significant difference was found between the two groups for CSA values (P 0.05). As the CSA of the dural sac decreased, the incidence of RNRs observed at the superior of the stenosis level increased (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION RNRs of the cauda equina are frequently observed in patients with spinal stenosis. When the CSA of the dural sac is < 55 mm2, lumbar MRIs should be carefully examined for this condition." @default.
