Inflammatory Pseudotumor in the Epidural Space of the Lumbosacral Spine on F-18 FDG PET/CT
An inflammatory pseudotumor (IPT) is a rare benign lesion, characterized by nonneoplastic proliferation of inflammatory cells and presence of intermingling collagen fibers. IPT commonly occurs in the lungs and orbita, while an intraspinal IPT is extremely rare. IPT can mimic both clinically and radiologically malignant processes, and making a definitive preoperative diagnosis is often difficult...
متن کاملCT evaluation of the lumbosacral spine.
The biologic cost-effectiveness of computed tomography (CT) versus myelography is so favorable to CT that it is now the method of choice for evaluating patients with less clear-cut clinical findings. CT is now used to detect lesions formerly difficult to diagnose, such as subluxation, arthrosis, facet osteophytes, and stenosis of the vertebral canal, as well as herniated disks and lateral disks...
متن کاملComputed air myelography of the lumbosacral spine.
Plain computed tomography (CT) of the lumbosacral spine may be a reliable method for diagnosing herniated disk when abundant epidural fat is present. When epidural fat is not sufficient, CT after the administration of nonionic contrast medium (170 mg I/ml) and/or regular metrizamide myelography have been used. Ten patients were studied by CT enhanced with air injected as a negative contrast age...
متن کاملCervicothoracic Lordosis Can Influence Outcome After Posterior Cervical Spine Surgery
Background Previous studies on the correlation between cervical sagittal balance with improvement in quality of life showed significant results only for parameters of the anterior translation of the cervical spine (such as C2-C7 SVA). Objective We test whether a new parameter, cervicothoracic lordosis, can predict clinical success in this type of surgery. Methods The focused group involved ...
متن کاملMR of enhancing nerve roots in the unoperated lumbosacral spine.
PURPOSE To evaluate prospectively the unoperated lumbosacral spine by gadolinium-enhanced MR for evidence of clinically correlative abnormal enhancement of nerve roots. METHODS Two hundred patients were prospectively studied with intravenous gadolinium- (0.1 mmol/kg) enhanced MR. Evidence was sought of intrathecal enhancement of lumbosacral nerve root(s), and the correlation of this enhanceme...
