2. Sacral dimple - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacral_dimple

   Understanding the distinction between simple and atypical sacral dimples is crucial for pediatric practitioners because of the potential association with occult spinal dysraphism (OSD). The pooled incidence of OSD in patients with an atypical dimple, as observed in several studies, was significantly higher (8.8%) compared to patients with a ...

3. Cerebrospinal fluid leak - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebrospinal_fluid_leak

   As holes form in the spinal dura mater, CSF leaks out into the surrounding space. The CSF is then absorbed into the spinal epidural venous plexus or soft tissues around the spine. [ 24 ] [ 65 ] Due to the sterile conditions of the soft tissues around the spine, there is no risk of meningitis.

4. Lumbar spinal stenosis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumbar_spinal_stenosis

   Spinal stenosis began to be recognized as an impairing condition in the 1950s and 1970s. Individuals who experience back pain and other symptoms are likely to have bigger spinal canals than those who are asymptomatic. [45] A normal-sized lumbar canal is rarely encountered in persons with either disc disease or those requiring a laminectomy. [31]

5. Spinal stenosis - Wikipedia

   Thoracic spinal stenosis, at the level of the mid-back, is much less common. [13] In lumbar stenosis, the spinal nerve roots in the lower back are compressed which can lead to symptoms of sciatica (tingling, weakness, or numbness that radiates from the low back and into the buttocks and legs). [citation needed]

6. Spinal disease - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_disease

   Symptoms for spinal tumors may vary due to factors such as the type of tumor, the region of the spine, and the health of the patient. Back pain is the most common symptom and it can be a problem if the pain is severe, has a time frame that lasts longer than it would for a normal injury, and becomes worse while laying down or at rest.

7. Dural ectasia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dural_ectasia

   The etiology of dural ectasia is unknown, but it has been suggested that is due to increased hydrostatic pressure, [8] general weakened connective tissue [9] or as a result of the pulsatile flow of cerebrospinal fluid on weakened spinal dura. [10] Dural ectasia is common in Marfan syndrome, [3] occurring in 63–92% of people with the syndrome ...
