Abstract
Lumbar radiculopathy is usually caused by nerve compression due to herniated disc material or compression by degenerative pathology such as enlarged facet joints, thickened ligamentum flavum or synovial cysts. We report the case of a 48-year-old female with L5 sciatica due to an osteochondral loose body in the foramen. This is only the third reported case of a single osteochondral loose body in the lumbar spine and the first reported case found in the foramen. 2019 AME Case Reports. All rights reserved.Entities:
