Abstract
Lumbar spinal canal stenosis is a disease characterized by numbness and intermittent claudication of the lower limbs by caudaequina and strangulation of the nerve root. Generally, it occurs in subjects who are more than 50 years old, increases with aging and is one of the most common of the spinal diseases. However, the definition of this disorder has not yet been established. The clinical guidelines for lumbar spinal canal stenosis were published in 2011, and an evidence-based approach to lumbar spinal canal stenosis has gradually been established. We introduce the diagnosis and treatment of lumbar spinal canal stenosis in addition to reporting the latest topics related to the clinical guidelines.
