    Purpose The purpose of this report is to describe the development of a classification system that would apply to anyone with a spine-related concern and that can be used in an evidence-based spine care pathway. Methods Existing classification systems for spinal disorders were assembled. A seed document was developed through round-table discussions followed by a modified Delphi process. International and interprofessional clinicians and scientists with expertise in spine-related conditions were invited to participate. Results Thirty-six experts from 15 countries participated. After the second round, there was 95\% agreement of the proposed classification system. The six major classifications included: no or minimal symptoms (class 0)

    Complementary Specific Pelvic Sequences on Routine Lumbar Magnetic Resonance Imaging Scans: An Imaging-Based Study Focused on Piriformis Syndrome
    (TURKISH NEUROSURGICAL SOC, 2019-01-01) Ayhan, Selim; Nabiyev, Vugar Nabi; Yetisyigit, Yasin; Palaoglu, Selcuk; Yorubulut, Mehmet
    AIM: To discuss the rationale and merit of specific pelvic sequences as an adjunct to routine lumbar magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for early detection of piriformis syndrome (PS) and to disclose its frequency in patients who underwent radiological evaluation. MATERIAL and METHODS: This retrospective, imaging-based study included all individuals who underwent lumbar MRI and those who were further evaluated with a pelvic MRI, but excluded all high-energy trauma Cases. The patients' demographics and radiological features were reviewed using electronic patient records and hospital-based picture image archiving and communication system. RESULTS: Overall, 1321 individuals (659 females
