Abstract
We describe a case of spondylotic lumbar spinal stenosis in an infirm elderly patient successfully treated with multilevel laminotomies. This procedure is less stressful to patients than a full laminectomy. In a selected subgroup of patients with "hourglass" spondylotic stenosis, it may provide adequate decompression.Entities:
