Spinal metastasis are a daily challenge in clinical practice. Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) allows delivery of definitive treatment with excellent long-term control rates. Its implementation needs dedicated devices and day-to-day image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT). The XSight™ spine tracking system, integrates with the CyberKnife® (Accuray™), provides a fiducial-free tracking system for spinal SBRT. We report a rare case of tracking failure during treatment due to the occurrence of a vertebral compression fracture (VCF).

Outcome of utilizing real-time contrast medium to detect the fistulas in spinal epidural arachnoid cysts and treat with minimally invasive surgery.
Eur Spine J

Department of Neurosurgery, The Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China.
Background: Spinal epidural arachnoid cysts (SEACs) are rare, non-neoplastic pathologies that can cause compressive myelopathy. Preoperative identification of the exact fistula location is crucial for minimally invasive management.
Methods: This single-center retrospective study included 27 patients with SEACs who underwent "double-needle puncture myelography" to precisely localize the fistula before minimally invasive surgery.
MYCN-amplified spinal ependymomas: a rare aggressive subtype. Illustrative cases.

Background: Spinal ependymomas are typically slow-growing tumors with a favorable prognosis. Recently, a new aggressive subtype has emerged with its own distinct histopathological and molecular features characterized by MYCN amplification. However, this subtype of spinal ependymoma is rare, and studies on its imaging characteristics are limited.

Recent studies have reported that monitoring spinal cord perfusion pressure (SCPP) using a pressure probe to measure "intraspinal pressure" (ISP) within the subdural space at the injury site may improve the hemodynamic management of acute spinal cord injury (SCI) patients. This study aimed to investigate, within a pig model of SCI, the relationship between the ISP measured within the subdural space and the "spinal cord pressure" (SCP) measured within the spinal cord itself. Specifically, we sought to characterize the changes to ISP and SCP over time, both rostral and caudal to the injury epicenter, and in relation to native spinal cord morphometry.

Department of Neurosurgery, Misericordia International Clinic, Barranquilla.
Study Design: Cohort retrospective study.
Objective: We evaluated and compared the outcomes of anterior cervical discectomy with fusion (CDF) and anterior cervical corpectomy with iliac crest graft and fusion (CCF) in patients with ≥3 level degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM).
Background: Anterior and posterior approaches are widely employed in DCM when compressive elements predominate in the anterior or posterior spinal cord, respectively.
Retrospective analysis of custom 3D-printed drill guides and titanium plate use in spinal stabilization of eleven dogs.

Introduction: Congenital vertebral malformations are common developmental abnormalities in screw-tailed brachycephalic dog breeds. Subsequent vertebral instability and/or vertebral canal stenosis caused by these malformations can lead to spinal cord compression manifesting in pain, paraparesis, ataxia and/or paralysis. Various methods for spinal stabilization are in common use.
