Reactive epieurithis and spinal arachnoiditis in intervertebral hernias and their MRI-diagnostics

Abstract

The article highlights the main issues on the diagnostics of reactive epidurites revealed in MR-visualization of intervertebral hernia. The conditions in which the pathology mentioned above is marked when performing MRI are set forth. The pathophysiological processes occurring in the epidural space in the acute hernia disk stage are described. The key terminology interpretation used in this process is given. The information concerning the possible complications in the presence of epidurites after the acute stage of intervertebral hernia is presented. The causes and symptoms of spinal aseptic arachnoiditis developing after the intervertebral hernia surgery are shown. The aspects of differential diagnostics of the presented pathology in combination with infectious and oncological injuries are demonstrated. The illustrative material is presented.
