A Comparative Study of Diagnosis of Lower Back Pain Based on Classification and Imaging Techniques

Adrenal myelolipoma (AML) is a rare benign tumor, usually non-functioning and asymptomatic until it reaches large size. AML is mostly detected incidentally by imaging and is composed of adipose tissue and hematopoietic elements. Only symptomatic tumor needs surgical excision. We report the case of a large non-functioning adrenal tumor discovered by means of combined imaging techniques in a middle-aged male patient who complained the sudden onset of severe lower back pain; successful laparoscopic removal was performed, and AML was diagnosed at histopathology.

Objective: to systematize the data on the possibility of application of imaging techniques for the diagnosis of ligamentosis of the long dorsal sacroiliac ligament. Materials. Publications containing information about the use of imaging techniques for the diagnosis of ligamentosis of the long dorsal sacroiliac ligament deposited in PubMed resources and information portal eLIBRARY.RU. Results. The work has sorted out the most important aspects regarding the possibility of application of imaging techniques for the diagnosis of ligamentosis of the long dorsal sacroiliac ligament. Conclusion. Modern methods of X-ray diagnostics are able to provide visualization of the posterior long sacroiliac ligaments, but the absence of reliable diagnostic criteria does not make it possible to diagnose degenerative changes (ligamentosis) confidently and, accordingly, to verify the related cases of lower back pain syndrome.
