Multi-level stenosis and re-operation at adjacent levels are especially common with DLSS. Identification of these individuals provides better prognostication after surgery. However, current literature provides few consensus on its definition and the required surgical approach. Besides, there are limited reports of its etiology and association with other spinal pathologies. Due to these limitations, standardizing the definition of DLSS and investigating its etiology and expected clinical course are necessary.
