Five Clinical Cases on Atrophy of the Lumbar Multifidus Muscle on Lumbar Herniation of Nucleus Purposus at CT Imaging

Objectives : Lumbar multifidus muscle stabilize lumbar spine. Atrophy of multifidus muscle follows disfunction of low back pain patient s activity and increase the reoccurency of herniation of nucleus purposus surgery. Lumbar herniation of nucleus purposus if common cause of low back pain. We have evaluated the atrophy of multifidus of nucleus purposus. Methods : Five patients were diagnosed as Lumbar herniation of nucleus purposus through the CT imaging. CT imaging were visually analysed to know lumbar multifidus muscle atrophy. Results and Conclusions : Examination of multifidus muscle atrophy should be considered with assessing CT imaging of lumbar spine. It may help for further evaluation and planning the treatment of Lumbar herniaton of nucleus purposus patient.
