Amaç:
Bu
çalışmanın amacı, manyetik rezonans
görüntüleme yöntemi kullanarak lumbar (L)1- L5 seviyeleri arasında canalis
vertebralis sagittal çapının normal ölçülerini belirlemektir. Canalis
vertebralis normal değerlerinin bilinmesi lumbar bölge cerrahisinde ve canalis
vertebralis darlığının teşhisinde çok önemlidir. Yöntem: Bu çalışmada, retrospektif olarak T2 ağırlıklı MRG kullanılarak,
ortalama 33.65±6.84 yaşlarında (20-45 yaş arası) 149 (87 erkek, 62 kadın)
yetişkinde canalis vertebralis sagittal çapı ölçüldü. Bulgular: Canalis vertebralis sagittal çapı erkeklerde ve kadınlarda sırası ile L1
seviyesinde 1.65±0.17 cm, 1.65±0.2 cm; L2 seviyesinde 1.54±0.15 cm, 1.58±0.21
cm, L3 seviyesinde 1.45±0.17 cm, 1.49±0.22 cm; L4 seviyesinde 1.43±0.21 cm,
1.50±0.29 cm ve L5 seviyesinde 1.48±0.28 cm, 1.50±0.32 cm olarak bulunmuştur.
Cinsiyet bakımından L1 ve L5 seviyeleri arasında canalis vertebralis sagittal
çapı açısından istatistiksel anlamlı bir farklılık yoktu. Sonuç: Çalışma sonuçlarımızın canalis vertebralis lumbar bölge
sagittal çapına ait normal değerlerinin belirlenmesi ile lumbar bölge cerrahisi
için literatüre katkı sağlayacağına ve canalis vertebralis darlığının
teşhisinde faydalı olacağına inanmaktayız.

Aim: The aim of the current study is to determine normal sagittal diameters of
spinal canal from L1 to L5 level by using Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Knowledge of normal values of vertebral canal is very
important for the lumbar region surgeries and the diagnosis of vertebral canal
stenosis. Methods: This study was conducted with
149 adults (87 males and 62 females) with the mean age of 33.65±6.84 (aged
between 20-45 years) retrospectively. The spinal canal diameters were measured
on MRI sagittal T2 weighted images. Results:
The spinal canal sagittal diameters were found to be 1.65±0.17 cm, 1.65±0.2 cm at L1 level, 1.54±0.15 cm,
1.58±0.21 at L2 level, 1.45±0.17 cm, 1.49±0.22 cm at L3 level, 1.43±0.21 cm,
1.50±0.29 cm at L4 level and 1.48±0.28 cm, 1.50±0.32 cm at L5 level
respectively for males and females. There were
no statistically significant differences between genders for spinal canal
diameters in L1 to L5. Conclusions: To
our belief our study results will make a contribution to the literature for
lumbar region surgery and be useful for the diagnosis of vertebral canal
stenosis by determining normal values.
