Duropathies represent a spectrum of disorders associated with spinal dural tears and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks. Diagnosis and treatment is often complicated by overlapping clinical manifestations. This review aims to synthesize current literatu...
Duropathies encompass a spectrum of disorders linked to spinal dural tears and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks, resulting in significant neurological manifestations. This review synthesizes the current literature on duropathies, focusing on their ana...
Background and Clinical Significance: Thoracic dorsal arachnoid web (DAW) is a rare intradural extramedullary condition characterized by a thin band of arachnoid tissue compressing the dorsal spinal cord. A hallmark imaging feature is the “scal...
Intraoperative ultrasound (IOUS) is an increasingly adopted adjunctive intraoperative visualization method in spinal tumor surgery, offering real-time imaging that improves lesion localization, exposure planning, and resection control. This paper foc...
Background: Idiopathic syringomyelia (IS) is defined by exclusion: an intramedullary fluid-filled cavity without Chiari malformation, spinal trauma, tumor, infection, or other identifiable cause. Growing evidence suggests IS is a progressively shrink...
Intraoperative ultrasound (IOUS) has developed from a rudimentary adjunct into a versatile modality that now plays a crucial role in neurosurgery. Offering real-time, radiation-free and repeatable imaging at the surgical site, it provides distinct ad...
