This paper presents an update on degenerative stenosis of the lumbar spine, which
is a common pathological condition among patients over the age of 65 years. The
anamnesis and physical examination need to be precise, since radiography often
only provides indirect signs. Magnetic resonance imaging is necessary if the
symptoms persist. The treatment for lumbar stenosis is a matter of controversy.
However, there seems to be some benefit from surgical treatment rather than
conservative treatment, such that surgery brings improvements in symptoms and
functions for a period of up to two years.
