Estimated 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 کاملIschemic Tolerance of the Brain and Spinal Cord: A Review
Ischemic tolerance is an endogenous neuroprotective phenomenon induced by sublethal ischemia. Ischemic preconditioning (IPC), the first discovered form of ischemic tolerance, is widely seen in many species and in various organs including the brain and the spinal cord. Ischemic tolerance of the spinal cord is less familiar among neurosurgeons, although it has been reported from the viewpoint of ...
متن کاملRadiation-Induced Spinal Cord Hemorrhage (Hematomyelia)
Intraspinal hemorrhage is very rare and intramedullary hemorrhage, also called hematomyelia, is the rarest form of intraspinal hemorrhage, usually related to trauma. Spinal vascular malformations such intradural arteriovenous malformations are the most common cause of atraumatic hematomyelia. Other considerations include warfarin or heparin anticoagulation, bleeding disorders, spinal cord tumor...
متن کاملChronological response of prostacyclin changes to moderately low doses of radiation in Rat cervical spinal cord
Background: Study of vascular and its secretory profile changes is an important issue in pathogenesis of radiation myelopathy. This paper reports the prostacyclin concentration changes after low-moderate doses of X-irradiation within a short period of time. Materials and Methods: Cervical cords of Wistar rats were irradiated to doses of 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 6 Gy X-rays. After 24 hours, 2 and 13 ...
متن کاملRadiation 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...
