腰椎肿瘤病
What is Lumbar Radiculopathy?
腰椎肿瘤病, commonly called sciatica, is an injury to the nerve in the lower back that causes pain and numbness that radiates down the legs. Symptoms also may include tingling, weakness, and reflex loss in the leg and feet. A nerve root in any of the five lumbar vertebrae can be damaged, irritated, or compressed by one of many conditions, including tumors, infections, disk herniation,脊柱狭窄, and cervical radiculopathy.
非手术和微创治疗方案都可以减轻腰椎肿瘤病。
Causes of Lumbar Radiculopathy
最常见的是，30-50岁的人会因退化性疾病而出现或随着年龄的增长而恶化，例如关节炎和骨关节炎，因此经历了腰椎肿瘤。骨刺，椎间盘突出，并且脊柱狭窄可能导致脊柱管的压缩，从而导致腰椎根瘤菌。脊柱或感染的肿瘤也可能导致病情。
Early Signs of Lumbar Radiculopathy and Diagnosis
坐骨神经痛的强度，频率和持续时间变化。症状包括尖锐或燃烧的疼痛，使腿部沿着腿部行进，使步行和站立不舒服；坐着时恶化的尖锐或燃烧的疼痛；一条腿或臀部的稳定疼痛；肌肉痉挛；脚和腿部麻木；以及腿部弱点的感觉或难以移动下肢。
我们的脊柱专家用X射线诊断坐骨神经痛，MRI， 或者CT scans, and肌电图to test nerve function.
在治疗腰椎肿瘤的治疗期间会发生什么
您的医生可能会使用X射线CT scans, anMRI， 或者an肌电图以及身体检查，以确定腰部根部病的严重程度。这种病通常可以通过非手术选择（例如药物和物理疗法）来治疗。缓解炎症的止痛药和皮质类固醇通常可有效减少症状。如果这些更保守的治疗方法无法缓解，则可以考虑手术干预。
您的医生建议的治疗将取决于您的腰部根部病的原因和严重程度以及其他因素。可以对神经进行解压缩或稳定脊柱的手术选择，并可能包括融合或腰椎切除术。绝大多数接受手术的患者可以缓解症状。
您可以在Uthealth神经科学上期待什么
UTHealth脊椎神经科学中心带来了衣服ether a multidisciplinary team of board-certified, fellowship-trained neurosurgeons, neurologists, researchers, and pain management specialists who work together to help provide relief for even the most complex problems. Your team will share insights, leading to better treatment decisions and outcomes.
We first investigate nonsurgical treatment options, including medical management, pain management, physical therapy, rehabilitation, and watchful waiting. When surgery is needed, our neurosurgeons routinely employ innovative minimally invasive techniques. Throughout the treatment process, we will work closely with the doctor who referred you to ensure a smooth transition back to your regular care. While you are with us, you will receive expert care, excellent communication, and genuine compassion.
Anatomy of the neck and spine
The spine is divided into the following regions:
- 颈椎区域（椎骨C1-C7）涵盖了头骨下的前七个椎骨。他们的主要功能是支撑头部的重量，平均磅10磅。颈椎比其他区域更容易流动，而地图集和轴椎骨促进了颈部的各种运动。这些椎骨的开口使动脉可以将血液带到大脑，并允许脊髓通过。它们是最薄，最精致的椎骨。
- The thoracic region (vertebrae T1-T12) is composed of 12 small bones in the upper chest. Thoracic vertebrae are the only ones that support the ribs. Muscle tension from poor posture, arthritis, and osteoporosis are common sources of pain in this region.
- The lumbar region (vertebrae L1-L5) features vertebrae that are much larger to absorb the stress of lifting and carrying heavy objects. Injuries to the lumbar region can result in some loss of function in the hips, legs, and bladder control.
- The sacral region (vertebrae S1-S5) includes a large bone at the bottom of the spine. The sacrum is triangular-shaped and consists of five fused bones that protect the pelvic organs.
