A Case of Symptomatic Extra-Foraminal Lumbosacral Stenosis (Far-out Syndrome) Diagnosed by Diffusion Tensor Imaging
Spine, 06/21/2012
Kitamura M et al. – The authors used diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to diagnose a symptomatic lesion as an extra–foraminal lumbosacral lesion caused by compression of the L5 spinal nerve at the foramina. Because DTI can quantitatively measure damage to nerve fibers, it may be advantageous for the diagnosis of far–out syndrome.
