Spinal teratomas are rare spinal tumors. Most of these present in children. We present the imaging findings of a spinal teratoma that was not symptomatic until adulthood. Congenital spinal tumors may occasionally present for the first time in adulthood, and radiologists need to be familiar with the imaging findings.

Background: ARPC1B has been identified as a key regulator of malignant biological behavior in various tumors. However, its specific role in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) remains poorly understood. This study aims to evaluate the influence of ARPC1B on the prognosis and disease progression in ccRCC patients.

Background: Prone lateral spinal surgery for simultaneous lateral and posterior approaches has recently been proposed to facilitate surgical room efficiency. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of minimally invasive prone lateral spinal surgery using a rotatable radiolucent Jackson table.

Methods: From July 2021 to June 2023, a consecutive series of patients who received minimally invasive prone lateral spinal surgery for various etiologies by the same surgical team were reviewed.

Background: Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) are benign, blood-filled neoplasms causing bone destruction, often requiring resection. However, challenges arise, especially at the cranio-cervical junction, where proximity to critical structures limits removal. Non-surgical options include selective arterial embolization (SAE) as main treatment, while Denosumab and centrifugated bone marrow emerge as experimental alternatives.

Background: Electromagnetic navigation (EMN) is an advanced technology increasingly utilized in orthopedic surgery for its ability to provide real-time intraoperative guidance. Its application in spinal surgery is evolving rapidly, particularly for complex cases like tumor lesions. Spinal osteoblastomas, characterized by their benign nature, primarily affect the posterior elements of the spine.

Background: The vertebral column is the most common site of bony metastasis. When indicated, surgical resection of hypervascular metastatic lesions may be complicated by significant blood loss, the need for blood transfusion, and incomplete tumor resection due to poor visualization and premature abortion of the operation. In select cases, preoperative arterial embolization of hypervascular metastatic tumors may help minimize intraoperative bleeding and reduce operative times.
