Topic: Central canal


  
  A BRIEF COMMENTARY ON THE CENTRAL CANAL   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The Central Canal was the longest of the canals planned to be built in Indiana.
The genesis of canals in the expanding northwest was a direct result of the 1825 success of the Erie Canal which connected the upper Hudson River and the Niagara River north of Buffalo and on to Lake Erie.
The Central Canal was thought to be the most important of the improvements to be constructed pursuant to the Act because it would transverse the landlocked center of the state and connect Indiana's capitol to the world.

 Florida Freshwater Fishing--Central E4 Canal Brochure
The E-4 Canal offers anglers nearly 17 miles of fishable waters as it flows through the Ida-Osborne chain of lakes and provides anglers access to 670 acres of lakes and 23 additional miles of boatable canals.
The canal in this area is characterized by sloping sides stabilized with concrete revetment, ranges in width from 50 to 180 feet, averages about six feet deep, and has a sandy bottom.
If there is a strong current in the main canal, look for any protected areas that offer refuge from the current (e.g., cut-outs, bridge pilings, and the downstream side of non-flowing spillways of lateral canals).

Central canal stenosis, commonly occurring at an intervertebral disc level, defines midline sagittal spinal canal diameter narrowing that may elicit neurogenic claudication (NC) or pain in the buttock, thigh, or leg.
Amundsen and colleagues found concomitant lateral recess stenosis in all cases of central canal stenosis; consequently, in his study, pure central stenosis without lateral stenosis failed to exist.
Degenerative changes include central canal and lateral recess stenosis from posterior disc protrusion, zygapophyseal joint and ligamentum flavum hypertrophy, and spondylolisthesis.

 Central Canal Stenosis vs Lateral Stenosis
In most patients, the course is chronic and benign (18,19) A study of 31 patients with spinal stenosis followed for a mean of 49 months found that symptoms remained unchanged in 70%, improved in 15%, and worsened in 15% (19).
Cauda equina syndrome, defined as compression of the lumbar nerves in the central canal causing sensory and motor deficit, saddle anesthesia, and bowel and bladder dysfunction, is rare.
It occurs in the setting of a massive central disc herniation or a burst fracture with retropulsion of fragments, or very rarely as a complication of spinal stenosis surgery (20).
