Vertebral bone quality (VBQ)Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)Bone mineral densityCervicalThoracicLumbarEuropean Spine Journal - To evaluate the associations among the validated lumbar vertebral bone quality (VBQ) score, and cervical and thoracic VBQ scores. Radiographic records of 100 patients who......
Minimally invasive spine surgery, including endoscopic spinal surgery, has spread from the lumbar area to the cervical, thoracic spine and lumbar interbody fusion. However, since it is closely related to the spinal cord of the cervical, thoracic spine, a safer surgical approach is needed, and an...
Objective:To evaluate the clinical and radiological results of lumbar accessed catheter-assisted epidural blood patch (LACA-EBP) technique in treatment of spontaneous intracranial hypotension secondary to cervicothoracic cerebrospinal fluid leakage. Methods:Patients presenting with spontaneous intracranial hypotensi...
Multiple structures in the cervical spine, including cervical facet joints, have been shown to be capable of transmitting pain in the cervical spine with resulting symptoms of neck pain, upper extremity pain, and headache. Utilizing controlled comparative local anesthetic blocks the chronic cervical fac...

There is a reduced risk of seizures if only the thoracic and lumbar subarachnoid spaces are filled. The dose rate is 0.3 mL/kg of a solution with 300 mg iodine per milliliter. If a lumbosacral lesion is suspected, then cisternal myelography is advised. For lumbar myelography, the animal is...
Purpose: Predict the variability of the center of gravity of head (COG) relative to the global cervical sagittal alignment (SVA). Background: Cervical lordosis, thoracic kyphosis, lumbar lordosis, and pelvic incidence are considered interrelated, with changes in SVA causing reciprocal changes to ...
Background: Although pelvic and related parameters have been well stated in lumbar developmental spondylolisthesis, cervical sagittal alignment in these patients is poorly studied, especially in high dysplastic developmental spondylolisthesis (HDDS). The purpose of this study is to investigate the sagittal ...

1Citations Abstract The cervicocranium extends from the skull base to the C2–C3 disk space. Characteristics of the cervicocranium related to the normal development during childhood or later should not be misinterpreted as signs of trauma. Examples of these include the terminal ossification center of...
