“…Malone et al conducted a retrospective analysis of MRI images from 831 patients diagnosed with spinal stenosis, revealing SEL in 6.26% of cases (11). In another large series of lumbosacral MRI with 450 patients, a prevalence of 16.7% was observed; however, there is only an 8% reporting rate (12). On one hand, the rise in obesity rates worldwide over the decades may contribute to the gradual increase in the prevalence of SEL.…”

“…Including epidural lipomatosis among the main causes of stenosis with disc pathology and arthritis is an important and unique feature of this grading system. Recent literature has recognized that hypertrophy of epidural fat is one of the key elements in the development of symptoms and lumbar stenosis [50][51][52]. MRI is considered the most sensitive and comprehensive imaging tool available for the study of the lumbar spine, providing information in regard to all the structures involved in the pathogenesis of low back pain, including bone, disc, neural roots, facet joints, ligaments, paravertebral muscles, spinal canal, neural foramina, and epidural fat.…”

“…Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is primarily used for disease diagnosis, lesion assessment, monitoring the effectiveness of treatment, and conducting neuroscience research. Its advantage lies in the high-resolution imaging of soft tissues, which is especially suitable for examining the brain, spinal cord, joints, muscles, and other body parts [ 83 , 84 , 85 , 86 ]. From neurosurgery to percutaneous puncture, MRI-guided robot-assisted techniques have been widely studied and applied.…”
