But it is relatively rare that cervical and lumbar spinal stenosis are coexisted simulataneously. The authors report a case of coexisting cervical and lumbar spinal stenosis with historical background and discussion. The patient was 49 years old male who complained intermittent neurogenic claudication, paraparesis and voiding disturbance. A successful result was obtained through one stage decompressive laminectomies in cervical and lumbar reaions.
