Percutaneous Sacroplasty for Sacral Metastatic Tumors Under Fluoroscopic Guidance Only
نویسندگان
چکیده
Percutaneous sacroplasty is a safe and effective procedure for sacral insufficient fractures under CT or fluoroscopic guidance; although, few reports exist about sacral metastatic tumors. We designed a pilot study to treat intractable pain caused by a sacral metastatic tumor with sacroplasty. A 62-year-old man and a 38-year-old woman with medically intractable pain due to metastatic tumors of S1 from lymphoma and lung cancer, respectively, underwent percutaneous sacroplasty. Over the course of the follow-up period, the two patients experienced substantial and immediate pain relief that persisted over a 3-month and beyond. The woman had deposition of PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) in the needle track, but did not experience significant symptoms. No other peri-procedural complications were observed for either patient.

Percutaneous Sacroplasty under Fluoroscopic Guidance Combined with Epidurogram for Sacral Insufficiency Fracture Resulting from Metastatic Tumor and Osteoporosis.
Sacral insufficiency fracture resulting from a metastatic tumor or an osteoporotic fracture causes severe low back pain and radiating pain mass effect on neural foramen and chemical irritants. Percutaneous sacroplasty is one of the effective treatment modalities for sacral insufficiency fracture and its pain. Because of the structural complexity of the sacrum, obtaining an epidurogram of the S1...

BACKGROUND Osteoporosis is an important problem in those of advanced age. Osteoporosis can induce sacral insufficiency fractures (SIFs). As average life expectancy increases, the number of patients with osteoporotic SIFs also increases. Osteoporotic SIFs cause severe low back pain and immobilization. Treatment of SIFs varies from analgesia to surgery. OBJECTIVES To describe our experience and...

UNLABELLED The treatment of sacral insufficiency fractures remains an area of active investigation and development, which has typically concentrated on the lateral elements of the sacrum and the sacral ala. Although these fractures frequently involve the first sacral (S1) vertebral body, this structure has eluded a successful technique to accurately access its central portion for percutaneous c...

Sacral insufficiency fractures are a more commonly recognized cause of spine pain among osteoporotic patients, and are now treatable by sacroplasty using percutaneous instillation of PMMA cement. Sacroplasty may be performed using only fluoroscopic landmarks; however, the bony anatomy of the sacrum is complex and the cement deposition based on these landmarks has not been specifically confirmed...
