Objective: Adjacent segment degeneration (ASD) after lumbar fusion is common, but some cases are asymptomatic. Radiologic ASD becomes symptomatic when it progresses to adjacent segment disease (ASDs). Debate continues regarding the factors contributing to ASD and ASDs. Thus, in ...
Objective: Basal ganglia calcification (BGC) is a common incidental finding on brain computed tomography (CT) and may indicate a tendency toward systemic calcification. The relationship between BGC and cervical spine ossification disorders remains unexplored. This study aimed to...
It is crucial to differentiate more common cervical spine disorders from thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS), which causes neck and shoulder pain and paresthesia in the upper extremities. However, distinguishing between these conditions can be challenging if cervical spine imaging id...
This report discusses a case of failed cervical spine surgery syndrome attributed to referred pain from greater occipital nerve (GON) entrapment. Although occipital neuralgia is commonly recognized as a symptom of GON entrapment, this condition typically manifests as continuous ...
Spinal cord infarction (SCI) is a rare condition that is frequently misdiagnosed due to its nonspecific or overlapping neurological symptoms. In contrast, chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is relatively common, but can present with diverse manifestations, occasionally including h...
Psammomatous meningiomas are rare, low-grade spinal tumors characterized by the presence of psammoma bodies, which often overlap with metaplastic meningiomas that exhibit osseous components. This overlap presents a diagnostic challenge due to the presence of both shared and dist...
Spinal epidural lipomatosis (SEL) is a rare condition characterized by excessive accumulation of unencapsulated adipose tissue in the spinal epidural space, resulting in neural compression. Compared with conventional open microscopic surgery, unilateral biportal endoscopy (UBE) ...
