Chronic lumbar radiculopathy following spinal surgery is reported, in which 7 of 25 patients reviewed developed a postoperative syndrome immediately after their original surgery. Later, sometimes years later, all 7 patients developed severe chronic spinal arachnoiditis. This syndrome was characterized by transient violent spasms in the legs, muscle cramps, increased radicular pain, and often fever and chills. The recognition of this syndrome and a proposed method of treatment is discussed.
据报道,脊柱手术后会出现慢性腰神经根病,在接受复查的25例患者中,有7例在初次手术后立即出现了术后综合征。后来,有时是数年之后,这7例患者均发展为严重的慢性脊髓蛛网膜炎。该综合征的特点是腿部短暂剧烈痉挛、肌肉抽筋、神经根性疼痛加剧,且常伴有发热和寒战。本文讨论了对该综合征的认识及一种建议的治疗方法。
