I eet tilfælde, hos en kvinde i slutningen a f

40

’erne, er set ophør

a f menstruationen. De fleste patienter faar lidt ildebefindende,

appetitløshed, kvalme eller lignende i tilslutning til bestraalingen,

men ledsagesymptomer a f nogen betydning har vi aldrig set ved

disse smaabehandlinger. Man bør dog være varsom med bestraaling

a f kvinder, før menopausen er indtraadt, og altid afdække genitalia

godt.

Mange tilfælde a f torntapslumbago, ogsaa saadanne, som forgæves

har været behandlet med forskellige fysiurgiske midler, vil saaledes

med god — omend ikke sjældent forbigaaende — virkning kunne

behandles med røntgenterapi.

Summary.

A. A short description is given of »spinous process lumbago«,

»osteoarthrosis proc. spin.« (syn.: »osteoarthrosis interspinalis«).

1

) The pressure of one spinous process upon another causes

destruction of the soft tissues between the spinous pro­

cesses, and osteoarthritic changes of the spinous processes.

2

) The cause of this pressure lies in the lordosis, in the lever

arrangement and in five groups of more individual pheno­

mena: a) increase of the lordosis, b) increase of the bulk

of the spinous process, c) shrinkage of the vertebral bodies,

d) spondylosis deformans, and e) congenital disposition.

3

) The clinical symtoms due to pressure of the spinous pro­

cesses are: acute and chronic pain, and muscular contrac­

tions of long duration.

4

) Discussion of the technique of the development of spinous

process lumbago, considerations regarding acute lumbago

and proof’s of the author’s point of view.

B . X -ray treatment of spinous process lumbago:

1

) Considerations in general.
