A patient presented with sciatica attributed to a conjoined lumbosacral nerve root, an extruded disc herniation, and epidural varicose veins.
A 60-year-old male presented with 5 months of sciatica (4/5 motor deficit). The lumbosacral magnetic resonance showed a right paracentral disc herniation causing thecal sac/L5-S1 nerve root compression. Intraoperatively, the patient had an L5-S1 conjoined nerve root, an extruded disc herniation, and type C epidural varicose veins. A wide fenestration and foraminotomy were performed to facilitate the removal of the extruded disc and partial coagulation of the epidural varicose veins. Surgery resulted in complete symptom resolution within the 1 postoperative month.
A patient with intractable right-sided sciatic was found at surgery to have an L5-S1 conjoined nerve root, a herniated disc, and marked epidural varicosities. Following a wide fenestration/foraminal decompression, the patient's symptoms fully resolved within the 1 postoperative month.
一名患者因腰骶神经根联合、椎间盘突出及硬膜外静脉曲张出现坐骨神经痛。
一名60岁男性，出现坐骨神经痛5个月（运动功能障碍4/5级）。腰骶部磁共振成像显示右侧中央旁型椎间盘突出，压迫硬脊膜囊/L5 - S1神经根。术中发现患者存在L5 - S1神经根联合、椎间盘突出及C型硬膜外静脉曲张。进行了广泛开窗和椎间孔切开术，以利于摘除突出的椎间盘并对硬膜外静脉曲张进行部分凝固。手术使患者在术后1个月内症状完全缓解。
一名患有顽固性右侧坐骨神经痛的患者在手术中被发现存在L5 - S1神经根联合、椎间盘突出及明显的硬膜外静脉曲张。经过广泛开窗/椎间孔减压后，患者症状在术后1个月内完全缓解。
