Overview
Causes
The most common cause of spinal stenosis is degenerative joint disease.
Common causes of spinal stenosis include:
- Trauma
- Tumor (primary or secondary)
- Secondary tumors: lung cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, or renal cancer. Sarcoma, myeloma, leukemia, thyroid cancer, lymphoma, melanoma, and gastrointestinal malignancies can also cause spinal stenosis
- Scoliosis
- Vertebral compression fractures
- Epidural abscess
- Epidural hematoma[1][2]
Less common causes are:
