Neurogenic claudication (NC), also known as pseudoclaudication, is the most common symptom of lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) and describes intermittent leg pain from impingement of the nerves emanating from the spinal cord. [1] [2] Neurogenic means that the problem originates within the nervous system.
Intermittent neurogenic claudication [17] [20] [21] characterized by lower limb numbness, weakness, diffuse or radicular leg pain associated with paresthesia (bilaterally), [20] weakness and/or heaviness in buttocks radiating into lower extremities with walking or prolonged standing. [17]
Vascular claudication can resemble spinal stenosis, and some individuals experience unilateral or bilateral symptoms radiating down the legs rather than true claudication. [7] The first symptoms of stenosis include bouts of low back pain. After a few months or years, this may progress to claudication.
Spinal or neurogenic claudication may be differentiated from arterial claudication based on activity and position. In neurogenic claudication, positional changes lead to increased stenosis (narrowing) of the spinal canal and compression of nerve roots and resultant lower extremity symptoms. Standing and extension of the spine narrows the spinal ...
