    The intravertebral vacuum cleft phenomenon, often linked to osteoporosis and trauma, is more common than previously thought, especially in elderly women. This condition may indicate osteonecrosis and bone marrow necrosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Radiology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • The intravertebral vacuum cleft (IVC) phenomenon is a rare finding.
    • Its prevalence and associated risk factors require further elucidation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the frequency and characteristics of IVC.
    • To identify pathogenetic factors and understand the underlying pathology of IVC.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of five personal cases of IVC.
    • Comprehensive literature analysis on IVC.

    Main Results:

    • IVC is more frequent than initially perceived, particularly in the dorsolumbar spine.
    • Risk factors include osteoporosis, trauma history, and rheumatic conditions, with a predilection for elderly women.

  • Radiotracer uptake patterns suggest osteonecrosis and bone marrow necrosis.

    • Conclusions:

    • IVC is an underrecognized entity with specific demographic and pathogenetic associations.
    • The phenomenon likely represents a form of bone and bone marrow necrosis.
