Paraspinal extramedullary hematopoiesis masquerading as nerve sheath tumor.

Paraspinal tumors are uncommon tumors involving the soft-tissue around the vertebrae. The lesion could originate from nerve roots, soft tissue, or blood vessels. The diversity of the lesions poses diagnostic dilemma, warranting robust histopathological diagnosis.

Distal Junctional Failure Secondary to Nontraumatic Fracture of Lower Instrumented Vertebra: Our Experience and Review of Literature.

Background: Junctional kyphosis (JK) is usually observed in long-level instrumented fusion surgeries. Various contributing factors are proposed, the pre-existing and postoperative spinal imbalance is considered as the single most important factor for the development of JK in adult spinal deformity surgeries. Distal JK (DJK) is seldom reported compared to proximal JK (PJK), and scarce literature exists.
