Abstract
Case report of a 71-year-old man having sustained a spinal cord injury (SCI) for 26 years. He started to suffer from low back pain 21 years after his onset and this was diagnosed as ilio-lumbar syndrome (ILS). To describe the problem of low back pain occurring after a change of wheelchair in a SCI, and to indicate the importance of the ilio-lumbar syndrome as a possible cause of low back complaint. Clinical findings supported by echotomography confirmed the diagnosis of ILS in our case. ILS should be considered when some changes and deterioration of the status of SCI occur due to low back complaint.
