Article Synopsis
- Systemic sclerosis, or scleroderma, infrequently affects the cervical spine, but in rare cases can lead to dystrophic calcinosis, resulting in spinal canal stenosis and instability.
- A case involving a 57-year-old woman with a history of systemic sclerosis presented with weakness after a minor fall, revealing severe spinal compression due to calcified masses and subluxation at C4/5.
- The patient's surgery included laminectomies and fixation, with careful consideration given to dura repair after calcinosis removal, highlighting the potential for significant spinal complications arising from dystrophic calcinosis in systemic sclerosis.
Background: Traumatic atlanto-occipital dislocation (AOD) is a rare but often fatal injury. Consequently, long-term data regarding surviving patients have been limited. In particular, the occurrence of hydrocephalus is not well-documented.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFPurpose: To evaluate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) artifacts near metallic spinal instrumentation using both conventional metal artifact reduction sequences (MARS) and 3D multispectral imaging sequences (3D-MSI).
Materials And Methods: Both MARS and 3D-MSI images were acquired in 10 subjects with titanium spinal hardware on a 1.5T GE 450W scanner.
Background: Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (AT/RT) is an aggressive neoplasm of the central nervous system that generally arises intracranially in patients under 2 years of age. Primary spinal AT/RT in an adult is rare.
Case Description: A 23-year-old female presented with left lower extremity sciatica attributed to a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-documented intradural mass between L2 and L4.
