Abstract
Background: The purpose of this study was to report the clinical features and prognostic factors of surgical outcome of foot drop caused by severe stenosis of spondylosis lumbar.
Case presentation: We reported two cases of patients were identified with isolated foot drop caused by severe stenosis of spondylosis lumbar spine.
Conclusion: Our case report findings that duration of symptom to surgery, the severity of nerves compression are the poor prognostic factors, decompressive surgery was effective in terms of motoric outcome.
Keywords: decompressive surgery, foot drop, spondylosis
