| Summary: | Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal by a combination of bone and soft tissues, which causes mechanical compression of spinal nerve roots.Diagnosis is made by computerized tomography, myelography, or magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. The aim of this case report was to present and discuss a patient with degenerative changes in whom spinal canal stenosis developed due to compression fracture and retropulsion of a fragment into the spinal canal following a simple fall. |
