Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT01:30

Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT

1.2K
Radiological investigations, including X-rays and computed tomography (CT) scans, are critical for diagnosing and evaluating various medical conditions. These imaging techniques provide valuable insights into the body's internal structures, aiding in the detection of abnormalities, assessment of disease progression, and development of treatment strategies. This article delves into two primary radiological investigations, chest X-rays and CT scans, outlining their purpose, procedures, and...

Quantitative Aspects of Drug-Receptor Interaction

1.8K
The receptor occupancy theory connects a drug's response to the number of occupied receptors. With higher drug concentrations, more receptors are occupied, leading to increased responses. The formation of drug-receptor complexes involves association and dissociation rates, which reach equilibrium when the forward and backward reactions are equal. The equilibrium association constant (Ka) and its inverse, the equilibrium dissociation constant (Kd), indicate drug affinity. Higher Ka and lower...

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan

642
Description
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

487
Radiological investigations are paramount in the diagnosis and management of various pulmonary diseases. Two essential investigations are the Pulmonary Angiogram and the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan.
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

Spinal Cord01:26

Spinal Cord

2.0K
The spinal cord, a critical component of the central nervous system, extends from the base of the brainstem to the lumbar region of the vertebral column. It is essential for maintaining physical stability and facilitating communication between the brain and peripheral parts of the body.

The Spinal Cord01:54

The Spinal Cord

31.9K
The spinal cord is the body’s major nerve tract of the central nervous system, communicating afferent sensory information from the periphery to the brain and efferent motor information from the brain to the body. The human spinal cord extends from the hole at the base of the skull, or foramen magnum, to the level of the first or second lumbar vertebra.

Summary

Dorsal spinal haemangiomas can cause compressive myelopathy in young adults. This study reports five cases, highlighting varied presentations and the importance of timely diagnosis for spinal cord compression management.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Spinal haemangiomas are benign vascular tumors that can occur in the vertebrae or spinal canal.
  • Dorsal spinal haemangiomas, though rare, can lead to significant neurological deficits due to spinal cord compression.
  • Compressive myelopathy presents a diagnostic challenge, especially in younger individuals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a series of five cases of dorsal spinal haemangioma presenting as compressive myelopathy.
  • To describe the diverse clinical and radiological presentations of these tumors.
  • To emphasize the spectrum of spinal haemangioma involvement, including vertebral, extradural, and intradural locations.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective case series analysis of five patients diagnosed with dorsal spinal haemangioma.

  • Review of clinical presentations, neurological examinations, and diagnostic imaging (e.g., MRI, CT).
  • Documentation of treatment strategies and outcomes.

    • Main Results:

    • Five cases (3 male, 2 female, age 16-43 years) of dorsal spinal haemangioma causing compressive myelopathy were identified.
    • Presentations included vertebral haemangioma with extradural extension (3 cases), isolated extradural (1 case), and extramedullary intradural (1 case).
    • One patient presented during pregnancy, and another had associated congenital heart disease; symptoms progressed slowly over weeks to months.

    Conclusions:

    • Dorsal spinal haemangiomas are an important differential diagnosis for compressive myelopathy in young adults.
    • The varied locations and presentations necessitate thorough diagnostic evaluation.
    • Early recognition and management are crucial for preventing irreversible neurological damage.
