Liagmentum flavum hematoma (LFH) is a rare cause of radiculopathy and low back pain, sharing similar symptomatology with disc herniation. It predominantly affects the lumbar thoracic spine. The underlying mechanism of LFH remains unclear; however, surgical removal of the hematoma has consistently demonstrated excellent outcomes. The objective of this case report is to emphasize the significance of diagnosing LFH. We present a surgically confirmed lumbar LFH case that mimicked a lumbar tumor, highlighting the challenges encountered during diagnosis and subsequent management.
黄韧带血肿(LFH)是神经根病和腰痛的罕见病因,其症状与椎间盘突出症相似。它主要影响胸腰椎。LFH的潜在机制尚不清楚;然而,手术切除血肿一直显示出良好的效果。本病例报告的目的是强调诊断LFH的重要性。我们报告一例经手术证实的腰椎LFH病例,该病例酷似腰椎肿瘤,突出了诊断及后续治疗过程中遇到的挑战。
