A midsagittal centrum cleft of T5-6, malformation and fusion of T3-7, intra- and extraspinal cyst, and myelodysplasia were found in a 3-month-old female Arabian foal that had experienced posterior ataxia since birth. Based on studies in other species, ecto-endodermal adhesions early in embryogenesis leading to formation of an enterogenous cyst is the most probable pathogenesis.

Objective: This case study evaluates an individual with skeletal changes consistent with DISH and ankylosing spondylitis. We present here an evaluation of the individual's pathological skeletal changes and a review of the potential diagnoses. Finally, we offer a differential diagnosis of co-morbidity infrequently found in the paleopathological record.

Article Synopsis
  • Spinal schwannomas (SSs) are mostly benign tumors that can be effectively treated with surgery, but complete removal is not always achievable due to the tumor's location and structure.
  • A study reviewing 113 surgical cases found that certain factors, like tumor location (cervical or sacral) and size, were linked to incomplete removal and recurrence, with 87 patients achieving gross total resection (GTR).
  • Overall, 85% of benign SSs can be completely resected, and ultrasound during surgery is recommended to ensure all tumor parts are removed, especially for more complex configurations.

Spinal epidural lipomatosis (SEL) is a rare condition characterized by an excessive accumulation of adipose tissue in the spinal canal that can have a compressive effect on intraspinal neuroanatomical structures, leading to clinical symptoms. Several different conservative and surgical treatment strategies have been proposed but the treatment and outcomes remain controversial. There is a lack of severity-based evidence documenting the success of decompressive laminectomy in SEL and there are only anecdotal reports of clinico-radiological success with weight loss from bariatric surgery.
