Core Tip	In this study, magnetic resonance imaging findings of redundant nerve roots (RNRs) of cauda equina were evaluated in patients with lumbar stenosis. The stenotic segment cross-sectional area (CSA) cut-off value that could lead to RNRs of cauda equina was detected as 55.22 mm2. In patients with RNRs of cauda equina, the average CSA was significantly lower than in patients who did not have RNRs. Disc herniation type and spondylolisthesis were not significantly associated with the relative length or CSA of the dural sac. It was found that the incidence of RNRs being observed at the superior of the stenosis level increased as the CSA decreased.
