  • Title: [Vertebrogenic lumbosacral radiculitis unrelated to disk herniation].
    Author: Rutenburg MD.
    Journal: Vopr Neirokhir; 1975; (3):45-9. PubMed ID: 1199004.
    Abstract:
    A classification of changes in the inferior lumbar portion of the spine that cause radicular pain and symptoms not amenable to concervative therapy is given. In most cases the said changes can be educed through a clinico-roentgenological investigation. Anatomical data bear proof to the presence of structural variants in which, in case of an intercurrent osteochondrosis without hernia of the disc, the compression of the root becomes quite probable. The classification lists changes that should be looked for when no hernia of the disc could be detected and lays emphasis on the multiplicity of causes accounting for the emergence of vertebrogenic radiculitis.
