(英) Full-endoscopic Decompression of Foraminal Stenosis Caused by Facet Hypertrophy Contralateral to the Dominant Hand in a Baseball Pitcher: A Case Report.

(英) Back pain and lower extremity pain have various causes and occasionally occur simultaneously, creating diagnostic difficulties. In addition, athletes require special consideration in terms of treatment. Here, we report a case of foraminal stenosis as a result of lumbar disc prolapse combined with facet hypertrophy contralateral to the dominant hand in a baseball pitcher that was successfully treated by minimally invasive full-endoscopic surgery. A 31-year-old left-handed male baseball pitcher presented with complaints of low back pain and right buttock pain while pitching. A diagnosis of foraminal stenosis caused by a disc bulge combined with facet hypertrophy contralateral to the dominant hand was made on the basis of physical and radiological findings. His symptoms improved immediately after transforaminal full-endoscopic lumbar discectomy and foraminoplasty under local anesthesia. He returned to play 3 months after surgery. Foraminal stenosis due to facet hypertrophy may occur in the side contralateral to the throwing arm in pitchers. Minimally invasive decompression using a full-endoscopic procedure is required for high-level athletes at this position.
