Sciatica caused by a dilated epidural vein: MR findings.

P Demaerel1, C Petré, G Wilms, C Plets.   

Abstract

We report the MR imaging findings in a 41-year-old woman presenting with sudden low back pain and sciatica. At surgery a dilated epidural vein was found compressing the nerve root. The MR findings may suggest the diagnosis. Magnetic resonance imaging of a dilated epidural vein or varix causing sciatica has not been reported until now.
