Abstract
Cases (3) are presented with computed tomographic evidence of gas in retroperitoneal soft tissues in association with the so-called vacuum phenomenon (Knutsson sign) in lumbar discs. The explanations of Knutsson sign are reviewed and an explanation of how extradiscal gas can occur in association with it is presented.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
