Maigne's syndrome is a poorly understood condition that affects the thoracolumbar junction. The symptoms can range from pain in the low back, pelvis, hip, lower abdomen, and groin. These symptoms can have bio-mechanical and neurophysiological attributions due to the complexity of spinal mechanics. Thoraco-lumbar junction (T12-L1) is a transitional zone with a higher degree of mean angular Luxembourg (/ ˈ l ʌ k s əm b ɜːr ɡ / ⓘ LUK-səm-burg; Luxembourgish: Lëtzebuerg [ˈlətsəbuəɕ] ⓘ; German: Luxemburg [ˈlʊksm̩bʊʁk] ⓘ; French: Luxembourg [lyksɑ̃buʁ] ⓘ), officially the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, is a small landlocked country in Western Europe.It is bordered by Belgium to the west and north, Germany to the east, and France to the south. Maigne Syndrome was further elucidated by Dr. Robert Maigne, with a reported incidence of 40% in 350 patients that presented with low back pain . In Maigne's 2 year follow up study on 19 patients operated on for entrapment of the cluneal nerve at the iliac crest, excellent results were found in 13 of 19 patients. Background: First discussed by Dr. Robert Maigne in the late 1980s, Maigne Syndrome is an often unrecognized and treatable cause of low back pain. It can be separated into two distinct entities. The central variant is a result of nerve afferent input secondary to changes of facet joint arthropathy at the thoracolumbar junction. Robert Maigne first described thoracolumbar syndrome in 1974, which is why this syndrome is commonly known as Maigne's syndrome. Pathomechanism. The TLJ may be more susceptible to biomechanical disturbance due to lower stability compared to the thoracic spine as the last two ribs not being attached to the sternum.
