Spinal Mri

A skeletal-related event (SRE) is an event occurring due to bone metastasis in prostate cancer. SREs are usually marked by pain, pathological fractures, spinal cord compression, hypercalcemia, or bone metastasis requiring radiotherapy or operation. Case I: A 64-year-old male was diagnosed with a pathological fracture of the left femur. Thoracal CT scan showed osteoblastic lesions in the thoracal vertebrae, sternum, clavicle, and humeral head. Spinal MRI showed destruction of the cervical to sacral vertebral bodies. The histopathological result with Adenocarcinoma Gleason scores 8 (4+4) and an initial prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level of 689,7 ng/dL. Afterward, subcapsular orchiectomy was performed. However, his PSA level was still high (>100 ng/dL) even after serum testosterone had reached a castration level. The patient died during the first chemotherapy using docetaxel. Case II: A 61-year-old male was diagnosed with inferior paraplegia and neurogenic bladder, paraparesis, urinary retention, and pain in the flank area. Spinal MRI showed a pathological compression fracture of the 8th thoracic vertebrae. Thoracal CT scan showed costal and 8th thoracal vertebrae destruction as well as multiple nodules in the lungs. Histological results with Adenocarcinoma Gleason score 9 (4+5) and an initial PSA level of 750 ng/dL. Afterward, subcapsular orchiectomy was performed. Serum testosterone reached castration level with the lowest PSA concentration of 21.6 g/dL. The patient declined chemotherapy and agreed to palliative treatment. He died one year after diagnosis. A high PSA level (>500 ng/dL) could potentially be used as a predictor for severe SRE.

The lumbar vertebrae are the most common site for fracture incident because of its high mobility. The spinal cord injury usually happened as a result of a direct traumatic blow to the spine causing fractured and compressed spinal cord. A 38-year-old man presented with lumbar spine’s compression fracture at L2 level. In this patient, decompression laminectomy, stabilization, and fusion were done by posterior approach. The operation was successful, according to the X-Ray and patient’s early mobilization. Pneumothorax of the right lung and pleural effusion of the left lung occurred in this patient, so consultation was made to a cardiothoracic surgeon. Chest tube and WSD insertion were performed to treat the comorbidities. Although the patient had multiple trauma that threat a patient’s life, the management was done quickly, so the problems could be solved thus saving the patient’s life. After two months follow up, the patient could already walk and do daily activities independently.
