Purpose

Distinguishing between sequestered disc fragments and tumours remains a diagnostic challenge, but one of paramount importance given the surgical management of these two clinical entities varies dramatically.

Methods

Our experience over the last 3 years in managing this clinical challenge was analyzed.

Patients referred to the regional neurosurgical unit for evaluation of possible spinal tumours whose imaging and clinical findings were atypical, were prospectively identified and the medical notes, operative records and MR imaging reviewed.
