Abstract:Spondylosclerosis hemispherica is a syndrome with a typical radiographic appearance. The etiology of spondylosclerosis hemispherica is manifold; however, malignancy must be excluded. In most cases, noninvasive diagnostics are sufficient to rule out malignant growth even in cases with concomitant degenerative changes of the affected segment. Thus, there is no need for a biopsy except in cases with ambiguous results. Subsequently, close clinical and radiological follow-up of the patients with spondylosclerosis h… Show more
HS appearance on MR imaging is variable and may not correlate with the degree of sclerosis seen on radiographs or CT. Disk degenerative changes and asymmetric endplate erosions are consistent markers of HS.
