- The review aims to clarify and streamline evidence related to osteoporotic vertebral fractures, focusing on diagnosis and factors influencing surgical decisions.
- A literature search was conducted from 2010 to 2020, resulting in the selection of relevant articles that address radiologic diagnosis and surgical decision-making for these fractures.
- The World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (WFNS) Spine Committee developed consensus recommendations based on their findings, facilitating better clinical management of osteoporotic vertebral fractures.
Objectives: The objectives of this paper are to describe pain control, neurologic improvement, local tumor control, progression-free survival, and overall survival of spine SRS/SFRT patients, and to compare our outcomes with other studies on spine stereotactic radiotherapy for metastatic tumors.
Methods: A chart review of patients who underwent spine SRS/SFRT was done. Information was collected on patient age, sex, histology, site treated, pain relief, local control, neurologic function, prescription dose, and complications.
Tuberculosis of the atlantoaxial spine is a rare condition that is often overlooked and remains a diagnostic dilemma. We report the rare case of a 56-year-old woman with cervical myelopathy secondary to a lytic lesion of C1-C2 complex with a histological diagnosis of tuberculosis.
