Context: Spondylodiscitis is a term that includes vertebral osteomyelitis, spondylitis and discitis. Among the vertebrae, the most affected are the lumbar (45%), followed by the thoracic (35%). Adults present themselves progressively, with a predominant complaint of low back pain and pain on palpation of the affected site, with significant limitation of movement due to muscle spasms. Report a clinical case with an emphasis on the possibility of early diagnosis and correct treatment aimed at the recovery of patients with neurological sequelae. Analysis of medical records in a patient admitted to the neurology ward of Santa Casa de Belo Horizonte. Clinical Case report: A.I.S. patient, 45 years old, with chronic low back pain due to asymmetry of the left lower limb. History of wear of the femoral head diagnosed in adolescence. Evolving for 2 months with progressive weakness in the lower limbs, associated with paresis and paresis in the left lower limb. He performed abdominal USG which showed hepatosplenomegaly with collateral circulation, increased caliber of the portal, splenic and superior mesenteric veins. Tomography of the lumbosacral spine with osteolytic lesions in the joints of L2-L3, L3-L4 and L4-L5., With almost total osteolysis of the L4 vertebral body, retropulsion of much later at this level, suggesting spondylodiscitis. The resonance of the lumbar spine performed with acute spondylodiscitis L2-L3 and L3-L4, compressing the roots of the equine tail with a comprehensive potential, remains as the emerging emerging roots. Liquid filling of the L3- L4 intervebral disc compatible with acute spondylodiscitis. Staphylococcus aureus and enterobacteria are responsible for more than half of the cases of non-tuberculosis. Conclusion: The diagnosis of discitis can be quite difficult, due to the rarity of the disease, the insidious symptoms and the high prevalence of low back pain in the general population. It is considered an important morbidity factor, as it causes an important neurological sequel. In addition, it points to the importance of differential diagnosis of low back pain in the population.

Gridhrasi (Sciatica) is a disorder in which low back pain is found, that spreads through the hip, to the back of the thigh and down the inside of the leg. Mechanical low back pain (LBP) remains the second most common symptom related reason for seeing a physician. 85% of total population will experience an episode of mechanical LBP at some point during their lifetime. Fortunately, the LBP resolves for the vast majority within 2-4 weeks. There are many causes for low back pain, however true sciatica is a symptom of inflammation or compression of the sciatica nerve. The sciatica nerve carries impulses between nerve roots in the lower back and the muscles and nerve of the buttocks, thighs and lower legs. Compression of a nerve root often occurs as a result of damage to one of the discs between the vertebrae. In some cases, sciatic pain radiate from other nerves in the body. This is called referred pain. Pain associated with sciatica often is severe, sharp and shooting. It may be accompanied by other symptom, such as numbness, tingling, weakness and sensitivity to touch. There is only conservative treatment giving short term relief in pain or surgical intervention with side effect. But these are not successful and therefore those who are suffering from this are always in search of result oriented remedy. Walking distance and SLR test were taken for assessment parameter, VAS score was adopted for pain. Before treatment patient was not able to walk even 4 to 5 steps due to severe pain, was brought on stretcher and his SLR was 30° of right side. After 22 days of treatment he was able to walk up to 500 meters without any difficulty, SLR was changed to 60° and patient had got 80 % relief in pain. This case report showed that Ayurvedic protocol is potent and safe in the treatment of Gridhrasi.

Insight Into

The cognitive–evaluative (C–E) dimension of pain is commonly observed in patients with a relatively long duration of pain. However, little is known about the effects of pain relapse on the C–E dimension of pain. Moreover, the improvement process of the C–E dimension of pain following treatment is unknown. The objective of this case report was to (a) demonstrate that the C–E dimension was affected in the acute phase of neuropathic pain in cases of pain relapse, and (b) demonstrate the improvement process of the C–E dimension of pain. A woman was diagnosed with low back pain (LBP) and sciatica. The patient had previously experienced symptoms of LBP and sciatica; thus, this episode was a case of pain relapse. At the beginning of rehabilitation, the C–E dimension of pain was present in addition to the sensory–discriminative (S–D) dimension of pain. It was observed that improvement of the C–E dimension of pain was delayed in comparison with that of the S–D dimension of pain. The C–E dimension of pain was observed with pain relapse even though it was in the acute phase of pain. This case provides a novel insight into the C–E dimension of pain. Moreover, the delay in improving the C–E dimension of pain indicates a difference in the improvement process for each pain dimension.

Background: Failed back surgery syndrome is a common clinical entity for which spinal cord stimulation has been found to be an effective mode of analgesia, but with variable success rates. Objective: To determine if focal stimulation of the dorsal columns with a transverse tripolar lead might achieve deeper penetration of the electrical stimulus into the spinal cord and therefore provide greater analgesia to the back. Design: Case report. Methods: We describe a 42-year-old female with failed back surgery syndrome that had greater back pain than leg pain. The tripolar lead configuration was achieved by placing percutaneously an octapolar lead in the spinal midline followed by 2 adjacent quadripolar leads, advanced to the T7-T10 vertebral bodies. Results: Tripolar stimulation pattern resulted in more than 70% pain relief in this patient during the screening trial, while stimulation of one or 2 electrodes only provided 20% pain relief. After implantation of a permanent tripolar electrode system with a single rechargeable battery, the pain relief was maintained for one year. Conclusion: This is case report describing a case of a patient with chronic low back pain with a diagnosis of failed back surgery syndrome in which transverse tripolar stimulation using an octapolar and 2 quadripolar leads appeared to be beneficial. The transverse tripolar system consists of a central cathode surrounded by anodes, using 3 leads. This arrangement may contribute to maximum dorsal column stimulation with minimal dorsal root stimulation and provide analgesia to the lower back. Key words: Epidural, low back pain, spinal cord stimulation, failed back surgery syndrome, tripolar stimulation
