✓ Fifteen patients with intense sciatic pain in whom surgical exploration disclosed no evidence of a herniated disc were found to have an entrapped L-5 or S-1 nerve root in a stenotic lateral recess beneath the superior articular facet of the inferior vertebra. Neurological abnormalities were infrequent. A conspicuously positive Lasègue sign was the most definite and consistent finding. Roentgenograms of the spine were not helpful, and myelography was negative or showed minimal changes because of the normal ventrodorsal diameter of the spinal canal and the lack of filling of the narrow lateral recesses. Electromyography was positive in the five patients studied. Surgical unroofing of the lateral recess with removal of the overhanging horizontal portion of the superior facet decompressed the incarcerated nerve root and relieved symptoms.

Nerve Root Entrapment

Epidurograms were performed on 47 dogs with clinical signs consistent with lumbosacral compressive disease. Thirtyeight abnormal epidurograms were identified. Epidurograms were considered abnormal when complete obstruction of cranial forward flow or dorsal deviation over the lumbosacral junction were present. Dorsal laminectomies were performed on 28 dogs with abnormal epidurographic findings. Surgical findings included: disc herniation (17), connective tissue nerve root entrapment (5), fibrous connective tissue mass (3), no abnormality (2), and instability (1). The strong correlation between abnormal epidurographic signs and compressive lumbosacral lesions seen at surgery (93%) suggests that epidurography can be a valuable aid in the diagnosis of lumbosacral compressive lesions.
