腰薦神經束膜囊導致馬尾症候群：腰椎牽引之療效－病歷報告

Abstract

Sacral perineurial cyst is an uncommon entity. It can be the cause of a sciatica or cauda equina syndrome. Reportd here is a case of multiple lumbosacral perineurial cysts with cauda equina syndrome, who experienced remarkable improvement of symptoms after each course of pelvic traction which was initially prescribed under the impression of lumbar spondylosis. Pelvic traction may probably serve as a palliative treatment temporarily for some patients with only mild symptoms or patients whose general condition is not suitable for surgery.
