In a previous study of osteosclerosis in chronic renal failure (1), it was noted that this type of bone disease is characteristically seen when renal failure has been present for several years. We wished to confirm that the duration of renal disease is related to the changes in the skeleton and that the radiological appearance is due to an increase in mineral content of the bone and to see whet...

ally involves the metaphysis and epiphysis of long bones. Although the spine is the fourth leading location of GCT, most of these lesions occur in the sacrum, followed by the thoracic, cervical and lumbar vertebrae (1). GCT of bone is a benign, but potentially aggressive lesion that shows local recurrence and metastases. Metastatic lung disease rarely originates from a benign tumor, but this ca...

Vertebral osteomyelitis is a serious debilitating infection if not detected early. Involvement of cervical vertebrae is usually seen in the presence of specific risk factors. Urinary tract infection commonly spreads to the lumbar vertebrae. This is a case presentation of an elderly male who, in the absence of specific risk factors for cervical osteomyelitis, presented with symptoms of urinary t...

Introduction: Recognition of conus medullaris position, contains lumbosacral plexuses which supply motor and sensory innervation to the whole lower limb, pelvic perineal areas, is critical avoid injury due lumbar procedures, such as spinal anesthesia punctures. This study aimed investigate position among Indonesians through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) spine at Dr. Soetomo General Academic ...

STUDY DESIGN A cross-sectional comparative study between chronic low back pain (CLBP) patients and healthy control subjects. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate reorganization in the sensory cortex by comparing cortical activity due to mechanosensory stimulation of the lumbar spine in CLBP patients versus a control group by using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). ...

ObjectiveTo evaluate and compare the radiographic efficacy and safety of a non-ionic dimeric and isotonic iodinated contrast medium, iodixanol (320 mgI/ml) and a non-ionic monomer and hypertonic contrast medium, iohexol (300 mgI/ml) in feline cervical myelography. DesignExperimental study AnimalsFive adult healthy cats. ProceduresIodixanol and iohexol were injected into the cerebellomedullary c...
