It is amazing to discover how little importance has been attached
to narrow lumbar canal syndromes up to now. Though H. VERBIEST gave
a very accurate description in 1949, the neurologist's and
neurosurgeon's preoccupations were mainly focused on discal
pathology, disregarding the problem of an exclusively bony origin
in canalar stenosis. A. WACKENHEIM and E. BABIN have the merit of
becoming aware of the impor tance and originality of this problem;
they organized in the beautiful surround ings of the Bischenberg
near Strasbourg, a postgraduate course, in which the most eminent
European specialists in this field participated. I am very honored
to have been asked to write the introduction to this mono graphy,
which contains all the studies reported and commented on during
this meeting. Before considering the problem from the various
radiologic points of view, it is in my opinion indispensable to
define the term "stenosis." We could not do so more accurately than
by assuming the definition proposed by A. WACKENHEIM and E. BABIN
and unanimously confirmed by all those who attented the session."
