The intravertebral vacuum cleft: a sign of ischemic vertebral collapse 总被引:14,自引:0,他引:14
2.
A retrospective analysis of the MR appearance of the intervertebral disks in 17 patients with spinal malignancy was performed. Disk expansion, related to neoplastic structural weakening of the bone in the face of unaltered disk biomechanics, was present in 20% of all visualized disks in association with a 77% incidence of malignant involvement of the vertebral bodies studied. This compared with a frequency in benign disk expansion (i.e., osteoporosis) of 2% in the age-matched, but randomly selected, control group. On careful review, there was no strict correlation between disk expansion and patient symptoms. Although this finding may be seen in non-neoplastic conditions, it is felt that the higher incidence of disk expansion associated with osseous vertebral malignancy nevertheless reflects the underlying gravity of the pathologic changes accompanying neoplasia. 相似文献

The intravertebral vacuum phenomenon is rather uncommon. It is determined by the collapse of the body of the vertebra with successive aspiration ex vacuo of gas (nitrogen) from the surrounding tissues, which collects under the endplates, causing them to appear disconnected. To date, the one who has reported the highest number of cases is Maldague, with sixty examples. Our report concerns four cases seen during the past five years. According to the most widely accepted pathogenetic theory, this phenomenon represents, together with vertebral collapse and increased bone density, a pathognomonic sign of ischemic osteonecrosis of the vertebrae, similar to osteonecrosis of the head of the thigh bone and, like this, favored by many different factors, such as old age, repeated traumas, alcoholism, rheumatoid arthritis, arteriosclerosis and corticosteroid therapy. 相似文献

Magnetic resonance (MR) images of the lumbar spine from 150 patients were retrospectively reviewed. In 14 of these patients, at 18 disk levels, a vacuum phenomenon (VP) had been identified on plain radiographs and/or computed tomographic scans. The MR imaging appearance of these gas collections in 17 disks was an area without signal, best seen on spin-echo sequences with short repetition time and echo time in the sagittal view. MR imaging precisely located the VP in the anulus fibrosus, the nucleus pulposus, and Schmorl nodes. In all but one case, degeneration of the disk was complete and associated with adjacent changes in vertebral bone. Pitfalls of MR imaging detection of VP included chemical shift artifact, calcifications, and tears without gas in the disk. 相似文献

This case describes a patient who presented with chronic low back pain which developed over the course of 1 year. Imaging revealed a 1.1-cm cystic lesion at the L4-L5 vertebral level posterior to the intervertebral disk. Following both magnetic resonance and computed tomography imaging, diagnosis of intervertebral disk cyst was confirmed by both imaging modalities. A computed tomography-guided aspiration of the lesion was performed, and the patient was given a course of steroid injections with complete resolution of the lesion. 相似文献

The effect of age on the signal intensity of normal lumbar intervertebral disks was studied. Twenty-seven cadavers ranging in age from newborn to 79 years were studied with use of a 1.5-T magnetic resonance (MR) imager within 48 hours of death. The signal intensity in the central area of the disk was measured on a sagittal image obtained with a long repetition time (TR) and a long echo time (TE) and correlated to the age. A significant correlation between the decrease in signal intensity and age was found, although signal intensity changed less than 6% in 80 years. The decrease in signal intensity is concomitant with decreases in water and glycosaminoglycans and increases in collagen in the disk. 相似文献

Osteoporotic vertebral collapse: percutaneous vertebroplasty and local kyphosis correction 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Forty-six cases of osteoporotic vertebral collapse (27 thoracic, 19 lumbar) were treated by means of percutaneous vertebroplasty in a hyperlordosis position. Institutional review board approval and informed consent were obtained. Kyphosis reducibility was preprocedurally estimated from the angular difference between neutral and hyperlordosis positions. Effective reduction was the angular difference in neutral positions before and after vertebroplasty. Reduction (< or =14 degrees ; mean, 6.43 degrees) was obtained in cases with estimated reducibility greater than 5 degrees (31 cases, 67%), which is a 34% (6.5 degrees of 19.1 degrees ) mean reduction. A significantly greater level of kyphosis reduction was observed in cases with intravertebral clefts (20 cases, 43%) at hyperlordosis than in those without (7.2 degrees vs 4.9 degrees ; P < .01). Vertebroplasty may reduce kyphosis due to localized collapsed vertebrae; intravertebral mobility and cleft suggest this possibility. 相似文献

PURPOSE: To determine the prevalence, distribution, and location of intervertebral disk calcification (IDC) in the thoracic and lumbar spine and the association of IDC with radiographically evident spinal degenerative changes in cadavers. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Anterior vertebral columns comprising T1 through L5 were removed from 223 cadavers (183 men, 40 women; mean age at death, 67 years; range, 37-94 years). Approximately 5-mm-thick parasagittal sections were investigated with high-contrast radiography. The presence of IDC, osteophytes, vertebral endplate abnormalities, and vacuum phenomena was recorded, and the height of disk space was measured at 3,568 intervertebral levels. Logistic regression analysis was performed. RESULTS: IDC was identified in 178 (80%) of the 223 cadavers. Of 3,568 disks, 459 (13%) had IDC, and 289 cases (63%) were located in the annulus fibrosus. IDC was most common in the lower thoracic spine, occurring in 275 (60%) of 459 disks. IDC occurred in 159 (87%) of 183 men and 19 (48%) of 40 women. Logistic regression analysis was adjusted for age, and results showed that the frequency of IDC was significantly higher in men in upper, middle, and lower segments of the thoracic spine (P <.05) but not in the lumbar spine (P =.09). IDC correlated with increasing age (P <.001) and disk space loss (P <.001) at all spinal levels. There was no association of IDC with vacuum phenomena or vertebral endplate abnormalities at any spinal level. CONCLUSION: IDC is common in elderly persons, especially in the annulus fibrosus and lower thoracic spine. The prevalence of IDC increases with age and extent of disk space loss. 相似文献

We describe the case of a patient with a recent history of high back pain, with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the thoracic spine showing intervertebral disk herniation into the spongious bone of the vertebral body of T9 that might have caused diffuse, low signal intensity on fluid-attenuated inversion recovery T1-weighted (FLAIR-T1W) images, high signal intensity magnetic resonance (MR) on T2-weighted (T2W) images and T2-weighted fat-suppressed images (T2W-FSIs) and marked enhancement on the vertebral body of T9 with gadolinium on T1-weighted fat-suppressed images (T1W-FSIs) images. Those findings suggested diffuse edema and might be indistinguishable from tumoral or inflammatory diseases, but the plain films and the reformatted sagittal computed tomography scans of the thoracic spine were helpful to show a calcified part of the intervertebral disk migrating into the vertebral body of T9. The patient made full recovery from the symptoms after conservative treatment and at the follow-up MRI showed normalization of the bone marrow signal intensity of the vertebral body of T9. 相似文献

PURPOSE: The purpose of this work was to determine the frequency and etiology of the intravertebral vacuum phenomenon (IVP). METHOD: CT examinations of 96 vertebral fractures were evaluated for IVP. Bone mineral density (BMD) was determined in nonfractured vertebrae. For calibration purposes, densities of a standard phantom measured in 30 patients who underwent quantitative CT examinations in the same time period were used and precision was calculated. RESULTS: Eleven of 96 fractures (11.5%) showed IVP. IVP was present in 4 of 20 fractures at T12 (20%), in 4 of 23 at L1 (17.4%), and 1 IVP was found at L2-4 each. Mean +/- SD age of patients with IVP was 68.3 +/- 10.5 years and without 47.8 +/- 19.4 years (p < 0.001). Mean +/- SD density of nonaffected vertebra was 45.9 +/- 17.0 mg of hydroxyapatite/ml for patients with IVP and 139.5 +/- 62.6 mg/ml for those without IVP (p < 0.0005). An average precision of 1.2% was calculated for the density measurements over the investigated time. CONCLUSION: Following vertebral fractures, IVP on CT scans is more common than presumed and increases with age. There exists a significant inverse correlation between the BMD and the frequency of IVP. 相似文献

The spinal vacuum phenomenon is readily recognized by computed tomography: there fore its observation has become frequent enough. The side of the gaseous collection (intervertebral disk, vertebral body, apophyseal joint) depends on the disease inducing the phenomenon. Radiological and CT aspects of this findings are discussed. The usefulness of vacuum phenomenon in the diagnosis of several pathological conditions is examined. 相似文献
