OBJECTIVE A novel technique for monitoring intraspinal pressure and spinal cord perfusion pressure in patients with traumatic spinal cord injury was recently described. This is analogous to monitoring intracranial pressure and cerebral perfusion pressure in patients with traumatic brain injury. Because intraspinal pressure monitoring is a new technique, its safety profile and impact on early pa...

background: arachnoid cysts are cerebrospinal fluid (csf) fluid-filled sacs that are located between the brain and spinal cord. spinal column arachnoid cysts are rare and mostly asymptomatic, being mostly located in intradural regions. we reported a patient who presented with neurological deficits and mid-thoracic extradural arachnoid cyst treated with en-bloc resection. case presentation: pati...

Simple liver cysts are congenital with a prevalence of 2.5%-4.25%. Imaging, whether by US, CT or MRI, is accurate in distinguishing simple cysts from other etiologies, including parasitic, neoplastic, duct-related, and traumatic cysts. Symptomatic simple liver cysts are rare, and the true frequency of symptoms is not known. Symptomatic simple liver cysts are predominantly large (> 4 cm), right-...

background and importance: perineural cysts, also known as tarlov cysts, are benign cysts of the spinal cord containing a collection of cerebrospinal fluid. they most frequently originate in the sacral spine and can be asymptomatic. case presentation: we presented a 30-year-old woman who was referred to our clinic with an 8-month history of perianal paresthesia, slowly progressive lower back pa...

OBJECTIVE To characterize and compare the MRI morphological features of the cervical vertebral column of Great Danes with and without clinical signs of cervical spondylomyelopathy (CSM). DESIGN Prospective cohort study. ANIMALS 30 Great Danes (15 clinically normal and 15 CSM-affected). PROCEDURES All dogs underwent MRI of the cervical vertebral column (C2-3 through T1-2). Features evaluat...

Abstract Background Among all benign kidney lesions, renal cysts are the most common type. In proposed update of 2019, Bosniak classification cystic masses is used to classify according their likelihood malignancy, both on computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Case presentation A middle-aged Caucasian male presented our department with chronic right flank pain. Imaging ...

CASE SUMMARY A 10-year-old cat presented 5 days after a traumatic event with acute recumbency followed by some clinical improvement. The neuroanatomical localisation was the C1-C5 spinal cord segments. Initial survey radiographs, including lateral flexed views, showed no convincing abnormalities. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a marked focal intramedullary lesion at the level of the ...

STUDY DESIGN Retrospective review. OBJECTIVE Evaluate the clinical outcome of surgical intervention for post-traumatic syringomyelia. INTRODUCTION Progressive post-traumatic cystic myelopathy (PPCM), or syringomyelia, can occur after spinal cord injury. The authors present their surgical treatment protocol and treatment outcome of a series of patients with post-traumatic syringomyelia. ME...

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Imaging technology is an important part of the diagnosis and management of spinal trauma. Indications and findings in post-traumatic imaging of the vertebral column and spinal cord are reviewed. METHODS An extensive literature review was performed on the imaging of vertebral and spinal cord injury. Relevant images from a Level I trauma center were included as examples. ...
