Vertebral Column: Regions and Curvature

11.4K
The vertebral column or spine is a flexible column that supports the head, neck, and body and  allows for their movements. It also protects the spinal cord.
Regions of the Vertebral Column
In an adult, the spine is subdivided into five regions: the cervical, the thoracic, the lumbar, the sacral, and the coccygeal region. The spine initially develops as a series of 33 vertebrae; after 20 years of age, the nine bones in the sacral region, five sacral, and four coccygeal bones fuse to form...

Spinal Cord: Gross Anatomy

7.0K
The spinal cord resides within the protective confines of the vertebral column. It is the main pathway for information traveling between the brain and the body. It plays a fundamental role in nearly all bodily functions, from simple reflexes to complex motor movements. The spinal cord begins at the medulla oblongata at the base of the brainstem and extends downward, terminating at the conus medullaris near the first and second lumbar vertebrae. The spinal cord's length in adults is...

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Radiology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Postoperative imaging is standard after spinal interventions to verify implant position.
  • New clinical symptoms post-surgery necessitate imaging to rule out rebleeding or malposition.
  • Delayed complications include failed back surgery syndrome, implant issues, disc herniation relapse, and spondylodiscitis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To emphasize the necessity of postoperative imaging in spinal interventions.
  • To highlight the importance of imaging for diagnosing early and delayed complications.
  • To underscore the role of advanced imaging techniques in accurate postoperative assessment.

Main Methods:

  • Reviewing clinical symptoms and surgical details (access route, material used).
  • Utilizing advanced computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) sequences.
  • Employing contrast medium administration and artefact correction techniques (e.g., dual energy).

Main Results:

  • Imaging confirms exact implant position post-surgery.
  • Imaging identifies complications like implant loosening, breakage, or infection.
  • Advanced techniques are vital for interpreting complex postoperative imaging findings.

Conclusions:

  • Accurate assessment of postoperative imaging mandates knowledge of surgical procedures and clinical history.
  • Specialized CT and MR sequences are crucial for evaluating spinal interventions.
  • Contrast-enhanced imaging with artefact correction is often necessary for comprehensive postoperative evaluation.
