Abstract

Aged Aged, 80 and over Diagnosis, Differential Female Humans Intervertebral Disc - injuries Lumbar Vertebrae - injuries Magnetic Resonance Imaging Spinal Fractures - diagnosis Spinal Neoplasms - diagnosis Spinal Stenosis - diagnosis Tomography, X-Ray Computed
We present an unusual case of a primary lumbar disk-space mass that presumably developed secondary to a chronic hyperextension spinal fracture associated with spinal stenosis. This injury resulted in the appearance of a lumbar intervertebral disk-space mass or pseudotumor. The pseudotumor most likely resulted from a prior spinal fracture, leading to a fused hyperextension deformity in a patient with underlying chronic degenerative spinal disease.
