Objective: Transpedicular intravertebral cage augmentation is a less invasive alternative to corpectomy for osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVFs) with neurological deficits. However, because the intravertebral cage depends on the residual vertebral shell for support, objective...
Objective: Posterior interosseous nerve (PIN) syndrome (PINS) is a compressive neuropathy of the deep branch of the radial nerve that primarily presents with motor weakness of finger and thumb extension. Although some patients respond to conservative management, others develop p...
Cervical foraminal lipoma is a rare cause of cervical radiculopathy. We report the case of a 47-year-old woman who presented with a 1-year history of right arm pain and paresthesia that was refractory to conservative treatment. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a well-defi...
In this report, we describe a rare case of pudendal neuropathy caused by deep-layer penetration of the sacrotuberous ligament (STL), accompanied by perineural venous engorgement, and emphasize its diagnostic and surgical implications. The patient was a 65-year-old man who presen...
Intradiscal electrothermal therapy (IDET) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat discogenic back pain and offers an alternative to surgical intervention in selected patients. Although it is generally considered safe, rare but significant complications can occur and may ...
Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is a central nervous system disorder characterized by the deposition of amyloid-β peptides within vascular walls, resulting in disruption of normal neural structures. Although CAA may remain asymptomatic, it can also present with a wide spectrum...
An 8-year-old patient presented with mild headaches and was diagnosed with a suprasellar arachnoid cyst (SAC). Patency of the cerebral aqueduct was confirmed using cine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and the patient was initially managed with outpatient observation without su...
Pudendal neuralgia is a painful neuropathy of the pudendal nerve, which contains sensory and motor fibers that innervate the anal, perineal, and genital regions. Secondary pudendal neuralgia may occur after injuries sustained during gynecological or urological surgery; however, ...
Spinal melanocytoma (SMC) is a rare, slow-growing tumor arising from melanocytes in the spinal cord. We report a patient with a cervical intra- and extradural spinal tumor causing progressive weakness and numbness. On magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the lesion showed intense h...
Spinal tuberculosis (TB) can be difficult to confirm microbiologically, and delayed treatment may result in irreversible neurological injury. We report the case of a 57-year-old Cambodian man who presented with a 2-month history of upper back pain and right-leg radiculopathy. Th...
