Abstract
Prompt diagnosis of lower spinal diseases is essential for successful treatment. Appropriate medical therapy or surgical decompression arrests progression and reverses existing neurologic deficit. Delayed or improper diagnosis seriously jeopardizes the patient’s ultimate neurologic status. Too often early symptoms are disregarded or passed over as insignificant.
