Method After Institutional Board approval, 171 consecutive patients were retrospectively enrolled, 105 LSS patients and 66 patients without stenosis. The dural sac cross-sectional area (CSA) was measured on T2w axial MRI at the level of L2-3, L3-4 and L4-5 intervertebral discs. Two blinded radiologists classified cases as exhibiting or not RNRCE in MRI. Intra- and inter-observer reproducibility was assessed.   Results RNRCE were associated with LSS. RRNCE was more frequent when maximum stenosis&lt;55 mm2. Substantial intra- observer agreement and moderate inter-observer agreement were obtained in the classification of RNRCE. Spondylolisthesis was identified in 27 patients and represented increased risk for RRNCE.   Conclusion LSS is a risk factor for RNRCE, especially for dural sac CSA&lt;55 mm2. LSS and spondylolisthesis are independent risk factors for RNRCE.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/0004-282x20140135","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,10,18]],"date-time":"2014-10-18T18:08:13Z","timestamp":1413655693000},"page":"782-787","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Cauda equina redundant nerve roots are associated to the degree of spinal stenosis and to spondylolisthesis"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"72","author":[{"given":"Leonor Garbin","family":"Savarese","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Sao Paulo (USP),  Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Geraldo Dias","family":"Ferreira-Neto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro de Recursos Diagn\u00f3sticos,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carlos Fernando Pereira da Silva","family":"Herrero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Sao Paulo,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Helton Luiz Aparecido","family":"Defino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Sao Paulo,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marcello H.","family":"Nogueira-Barbosa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Sao Paulo (USP),  Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"530","reference":[{"issue":"4","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"391","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.1968.28.4.0391","article-title":"Serpentine myelogramic defect caused by a redundant nerve root: case report","volume":"28","author":"Cressman MR","year":"1968","journal-title":"J Neurosurg"},{"issue":"3","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"169","DOI":"10.1159\/000115476","article-title":"Redundant nerve roots of the cauda equina.
