Abstract (2. Language): 
21 patients having lumbar spinal stenosis were evaluated clinically and with computed tomography. In computed tomographic evaluation of the lumbar vertebrae, the dural sac transverse area, the width of lateral recesses and ligamentum flavums were measured. The herniated disks compressing the central canal and other causes of spinal stenosis were investigated. The most common computed tomography finding was disk hernia-bulging (85.7%) and narrowing of spinal canal transverse area less than 100 mm2 (85.7%). In computed tomography, instead of canal measurements, spinal stenosis should be evaluated with the shape of the spinal canal and whether there is enough space for the thecal sac and nerve roots or not.

Abstract (Original Language): 
Lumbar spinal stenozlu 21 hasta klinik olarak ve bilgisayarlı tomografi (BT) ile incelendi. Lumbar bölge BT incelemesinde dural sak kesit alanı, lateral reses genişlikleri, ligament um flavum kalınlıkları ölçüldü, osteofitik değişiklikler, santral kanala bası yapan diskler ve diğer spinal stenoz nedenleri araştırıldı. En sık rastlanan BT bulgusu disk hernisi-bulging (%85.7) idi. Yine olguların %85.7 'sinde dural sak kesit alanının azalmış olduğu (100 mm2'nin altında) saptandı. Spinal stenoz BT'de kanal boyutları yerine kanalın şekli, tekal sak ve sinir kökleri için yeterli alanın olup olmaması ile değerlendirilmelidir. [Turgut Özal Tıp Merkezi Dergisi 1998;5(1):55-59]
