We present four cases of massive unilateral lumbar facet joint hypertrophy in an otherwise morphologically normal spine. All presented with a combination of low back pain and symptoms of entrapment of a single lumbar nerve root. The abnormality is best visualised by CT scanning and the results of surgical decompression by partial undercutting facetectomy are favourable.
我们报告了4例形态学正常的脊柱出现单侧腰椎小关节大量肥大的病例。所有病例均表现为腰痛合并单一腰神经根受压症状。通过CT扫描能最佳地观察到这种异常情况,而部分下切式小关节切除术进行手术减压的效果良好。
