چکیده
Percutaneous vertebroplasty is a minimally invasive surgical technique for the treatment of spinal damage and pathological compression fractures. Iodine-125 (I-125) particles can inhibit the uncontrolled proliferation of tumor cells to achieve anti-tumor effects. We report treating a spinal cord compression and T5 metastatic lung cancer patient through percutaneous vertebroplasty and I-125 seed implantation. Three years of follow-up demonstrated that our surgical plan achieved a satisfactory clinical outcome with good postsurgical recovery of spinal column function and relieved the symptoms of spinal cord compression.

Status and prospects of percutaneous vertebroplasty combined with 125I seed implantation for the treatment of spinal metastases
Metastatic spinal tumours are the most common type of bone metastasis. Various methods have been used to treat metastatic spinal lesions, including radiotherapy, chemotherapy, isotope therapy, bisphosphonate therapy, analgesics, and surgery. Conservative treatments such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy are not appropriate and usually are ineffective in patients with vertebral fractures and/or s...

متن کاملPercutaneous Vertebroplasty in Iranian Patients with Osteoporotic Vertebral Fractures
Background: Osteoporotic compression vertebral fractures are common clinical problems. In those with refractory fractures, percutaneous cement augmentation has been suggested. The aim of this study was to evaluate the functional outcome of percutaneous vertebroplasty in Iranian patients with refractory osteoporotic fractures. Methods: We retrospectively studied 37 osteoporotic fractures in 28 p...
متن کاملPercutaneous vertebroplasty combined with interstitial implantation of 125I seeds in banna mini-pigs
BACKGROUND Although brachytherapy is one of the most effective ways to treat metastatic spinal tumor with little damage to surrounding healthy tissue, it may cause radiation myelopathy if an overdose occurs. Establishing a valuable animal model can help to find a method to overcome its complications. In the current study, we set up a banna mini-pig model to mimic percutaneous vertebroplasty wit...
متن کاملMetastatic disease in the thoracic and lumbar spine: evaluation and management.
Spinal metastases are found in most patients who die of cancer. The number of patients with symptomatic spinal metastases likely will increase as therapy for the primary disease improves and as cardiovascular mortality decreases. Understanding the epidemiology of metastatic spine disease and its presentation is essential to developing a diagnostic strategy. Treatment may involve chemotherapy, c...
