Radiation myelopathy of the cervical spinal cord: MR findings.
Radiation myelopathy is one of the most serious complications of radiation therapy, with over 300 cases reported since its discovery in the 1930s (1). Diffuse cord enlargement on myelography has been described as an occasional and nonspecific finding (2], although the spinal cord may be normal in size. We describe the MR findings in a case of radiation myelitis in which the diagnosis was sugges...
متن کاملRadiation myelopathy of cervical spinal cord simulating intramedullary neoplasm.
Radiation myelopathy is a well-known complication of irradiation therapy of neoplasms in the vicinity of the spinal cord. Most earlier authors have stressed the association of a normal myelogram and normal CSF protein level with this condition. One case of radiation myelopathy with a myelogram simulating intramedullary neoplasm and with extremely high CSF protein concentration is presented. Six...
متن کاملMyelopathy (spinal Cord Disease)
What's the Problem, and How Do You Diagnose It? Myelopathy—or more precisely vacuolar myelopathy, the kind seen in some people with AIDS—is a degeneration of the spinal cord. Specifically, it involves degeneration of the nerves in the middle and lower thoracic spinal cord. Small holes (for which the medical term is vacuoles, hence the name of the disease) develop in the middle part of the spina...
متن کاملEstimated Risk Level of Unified Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy Dose Tolerance Limits for Spinal Cord.
A literature review of more than 200 stereotactic body radiation therapy spine articles from the past 20 years found only a single article that provided dose-volume data and outcomes for each spinal cord of a clinical dataset: the Gibbs 2007 article (Gibbs et al, 2007(1)), which essentially contains the first 100 stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) spine treatments from Stanford Universi...
متن کاملRadiation dose-volume effects in the spinal cord.
Dose-volume data for myelopathy in humans treated with radiotherapy (RT) to the spine is reviewed, along with pertinent preclinical data. Using conventional fractionation of 1.8-2 Gy/fraction to the full-thickness cord, the estimated risk of myelopathy is <1% and <10% at 54 Gy and 61 Gy, respectively, with a calculated strong dependence on dose/fraction (alpha/beta = 0.87 Gy.) Reirradiation dat...
