Background and Objectives: To prevent postoperative problems in extreme lateral interbody fusion (XLIF), it is critical that the vertebral endplate not be injured. Unintentional endplate injuries may depend on the cage. A novel porous titanium cage for XLIF has improved geometry with a tapered tip and smooth surface. We hypothesized that this new cage should lead to fewer endplate injuries. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included 32 patients (mean 74.1 ± 6.7 years, 22 females) who underwent anterior and posterior combined surgery with XLIF for lumbar degenerative disease or adult spinal deformity from January 2018 to June 2022. A tapered 3D porous titanium cage (3DTi; 11 patients) and a squared PEEK cage (sPEEK; 21 patients) were used. Spinal alignment values were measured on X-ray images. Vertebral endplate concavity (VEC) was defined as concavity ≥ 1 mm of the endplate on computed tomography (CT) images, which were evaluated preoperatively and at 1 week and 3 months postoperatively. Results: There were no significant differences in the patient demographic data and preoperative and 3-month postoperative spinal alignments between the groups. A 3DTi was used for 25 levels and an sPEEK was used for 38 levels. Preoperative local lordotic angles were 4.3° for 3DTi vs. 4.7° for sPEEK (p = 0.90), which were corrected to 12.3° and 9.1° (p = 0.029), respectively. At 3 months postoperatively, the angles were 11.6° for 3DTi and 8.2° for sPEEK (p = 0.013). VEC was present in 2 levels (8.0%) for 3DTi vs. 17 levels (45%) for sPEEK (p = 0.002). After 3 months postoperatively, none of the 3DTi had VEC progression; however, eight (21%) levels in sPEEK showed VEC progression (p = 0.019). Conclusions: The novel 3DTi cage reduced endplate injuries by reducing the endplate load during cage insertion.

For older patients with decreased reserve function, traumatic cervical spine injuries frequently lead to early mortality. However, the prognostic factors for early mortality remain unclear. This study included patients aged ≥65 years and hospitalized for treatment of traumatic cervical spine injuries in 78 hospitals between 2010 and 2020. Early mortality was defined as death within 90 days after injury. We evaluated the relationship between early mortality and the following factors: age, sex, body mass index, history of drinking and smoking, injury mechanisms, presence of a cervical spine fracture and dislocation, cervical ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament, diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis, American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale, concomitant injury, pre-existing comorbidities, steroid administration, and treatment plan. Overall, 1512 patients (mean age, 75.8 ± 6.9 years) were included in the study. The early mortality rate was 4.0%. Multivariate analysis identified older age (OR = 1.1, p < 0.001), male sex (OR = 3.7, p = 0.009), cervical spine fracture (OR = 4.2, p < 0.001), complete motor paralysis (OR = 8.4, p < 0.001), and chronic kidney disease (OR = 5.3, p < 0.001) as risk factors for early mortality. Older age, male sex, cervical spine fracture, complete motor paralysis, and chronic kidney disease are prognostic factors for early mortality in older patients with traumatic cervical spine injuries.

Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of condoliase injection therapy (CIT) for lateral lumbar disc herniation (LLDH). Methods: This retrospective study included 157 of 180 enrolled patients (70 males, 87 females; mean age: 52.6±16.9 years). These patients were divided into two groups (group L: LLDH, group M: medial LDH [subligamentous and transligamentous]). From baseline to 1 year after injection (final follow-up), leg pain was assessed using the visual analog scale (VAS) and the Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) scoring for CIT's clinical efficacy of CIT. Radiography and magnetic resonance imaging conducted before and 3 months after the injection were assessed. Patients with a VAS improvement of -50% at the final follow-up were defined as responders. The responder and nonresponder LLDH groups were also compared. Results: Groups L and M showed comparable responder rates (75.0% and 77.4%, respectively) (P=0.80). VAS and JOA scores at 1 year showed no significant differences between the groups (P=0.82 and 0.80, respectively). VAS score at 1 month after injection reduced considerably in the responder group compared with that in the nonresponder group (19.7 vs. 66.0, P<0.01) and continued to decrease at the last follow-up (3.5 vs. 52.0, P<0.001). Nonresponders had significantly lower disc heights after 3 months. However, intervertebral instability, alignment, and disc degeneration did not differ between the responders and nonresponders. Conclusions: The response rate of CIT for LLDH was comparable to that for medial LDH. Therefore, CIT is an effective treatment for LLDH.

Introduction: We investigated the relationships between patient factors, including obesity, osteopenia, and scoliosis, and the reliability of measures of the spinopelvic sagittal parameters using conventional X-radiography (Xp) and slot-scanning Xp devices (EOS) and examined the differences in interobserver measurement reliability between them. Methods: We retrospectively enrolled 55 patients (52.7±25.3 years, 27 females) with conventional whole-spine Xp and EOS images taken within three months. Patients were classified according to obesity (Body mass index!25 kg/m2), osteopenia (T score<−1), and scoliosis (Cobb angle>20°). The associations between patient factors and reliability of radiological parameter measurements were examined with interobserver intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), defined as poor, <.40; good, 40-.79; and excellent, !.80. Results: All parameters measured with EOS showed excellent reliability except for L4-S (ICC:.760, 95% CI:.295-.927) in the obesity+ group. All parameters measured with conventional Xp were excellent except for those classified as good: L 4-S (.608,.093-.868) and pelvic incidence (PI) (.512,.078-.832) in the obese+ group; T1 slope (.781,.237-.952), L4-S (.718,.112-.936), sacral slope (SS) (.792,.237-.955), pelvic tilt (PT) (.787,.300-.952), and center of acoustic meatus and femoral head offset (CAM-HA) (.690,.090-.928) in the osteopenia+ group; and lumbar lordosis (LL, L4-S) (.712,.349-.889), SS (.608,.178-.843), and CAM-HA (.781,.480-.917) in the scoliosis+ group. Conclusions: Reliability of EOS measurements was preferable except for L4-S in patients with obesity. The reliability of conventional Xp measurements of pelvic parameters SS, PT, and PI was affected by patient factors, including obesity, osteopenia, and scoliosis. When evaluating lower lumbar and pelvic parameters in patients with these factors, we recommend substituting thoracic parameters, LL (L1-S), sagittal vertical axis (SVA), and T1 pelvic angle (TPA), or combining computed tomography (CT) measurements.

Introduction: Lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) has been introduced in Japan in 2013. Despite the effectiveness of this procedure, several considerable complications have been reported. This study reported the results of a nationwide survey performed by the Japanese Society for Spine Surgery and Related Research (JSSR) on the complications associated with LLIF performed in Japan. Methods: JSSR members conducted a web-based survey following LLIF between 2015 and 2020. Any complications meeting the following criteria were included: (1) major vessel, (2) urinary tract, (3) renal, (4) visceral organ, (5) lung, (6) vertebral, (7) nerve, and (8) anterior longitudinal ligament injury; (9) weakness of psoas; (10) motor and (11) sensory deficit; (12) surgical site infection; and (13) other complications. The complications were analyzed in all LLIF patients, and the differences in incidence and type of complications between the transpsoas (TP) and prepsoas (PP) approaches were compared. Results: Among the 13,245 LLIF patients (TP 6,198 patients [47%] and PP 7,047 patients [53%]), 389 complications occurred in 366 (2.76%) patients. The most common complication was sensory deficit (0.5%), followed by motor deficit (0.43%) and weakness of psoas muscle (0.22%). Among the patient cohort, 100 patients (0.74%) required revision surgery during the survey period. Almost half of the complications developed in patients with spinal deformity (183 patients [47.0%]). Four patients (0.03%) died from complications. Statistically more frequent complications occurred in the TP approach than in the PP approach (TP vs. PP, 220 patients [3.55%] vs. 169 patients [2.40%]; p<0.001). Conclusions: The overall complication rate was 2.76%, and 0.74% of the patients required revision surgery because of complications. Four patients died from complications. LLIF may be beneficial for degenerative lumbar conditions with acceptable complications; however, the indication for spinal deformity should be carefully determined by the experience of the surgeon and the extent of the deformity.

Introduction: Scoliosis is the three-dimensional (3D) deformity of the spine. Scoliosis curvatures, such as the lower lumbar curve and the angle of the upper endplate of the sacrum observable on radiographs, are associated with postoperative outcomes; however, the relationship between postoperative outcomes and sacral morphology remains unknown. This study aimed to investigate sacral morphology in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) and to clarify its relationship with wedge-shaped deformity of the first sacral vertebra and radiographic parameters. Methods: This study included 94 patients who underwent fusion surgery for AIS (scoliosis group). As the control group, 25 patients without scoliosis (<10°) under 50 years of age were also investigated. S1 wedging angle (S1WA) using 3D Computed tomography (CT) and Cobb angle, L4 tilt, and sacral slanting using radiography were measured. The relationship between S1WA and other radiographic parameters was analyzed using correlation coefficients. Differences in sacral morphology between the Lenke lumbar modifier types A and C were also investigated. Results: S1WA was significantly larger in the scoliosis group than the control group (scoliosis: 1.7°±2.5°, control: 0.1°± 1.5°, p=0.002). Furthermore, the number of patients with S1WA >3° or >5° was significantly higher in the scoliosis group (>3°: 33%, 8%, p=0.012; >5°: 16%, 0%, p=0.039). S1WA correlated with sacral slanting (r=0.45, p<0.001) and L4 tilt (r= 0.35, p<0.001) and was significantly greater with Lenke lumbar modifier C than A (2.4°±2.6°, 0.8°±2.0°; p<0.001). Conclusions: The S1 vertebra was deformed and wedge-shaped in AIS, especially in cases with a large lumbar curve. Additionally, S1WA is associated with sacral slanting and L4 tilt on radiography in AIS.

The ideal surgical strategy for cervical ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) remains controversial due to the lack of high-quality evidence. Herein, we prospectively investigated the surgical outcomes of anterior cervical decompression with fusion (ADF) and laminoplasty (LAMP) with cervical OPLL. Three hundred patients were included in this study (ADF: n = 89; LAMP: n = 211 patients), and propensity score matching yielded 67 pairs of patients with ADF and LAMP, in which clinical outcomes were compared. Crude analysis revealed that the ADF group showed greater neurological recovery in cervical Japanese Orthopedic Association scores at two years, compared with that in the LAMP group (53.1% vs. 44.3%, p = 0.037). The ratio of minimum clinically important difference (MCID) success was significantly greater in the ADF group (59.6% vs. 43.6%, p = 0.016). Multivariate analysis showed that the factors affecting MCID success were age, body mass index, duration of symptoms, and choice of ADF. In the 1:1 matched analysis, neurological improvement was more favorable in the ADF group (57.2%) compared to the LAMP group (46.8%) at two years (p = 0.049). However, perioperative complications, such as dysphagia and graft-related complications, were more common in the ADF group.

Study design: Retrospective multicenter study. Objectives: To investigate the neurological outcomes of older individuals treated with surgery versus conservative treatment for cervical spinal cord injury (CSCI) without bone injury. Setting: Thirty-three medical institutions in Japan. Methods: This study included 317 consecutive persons aged ≥65 years with CSCI without bone injury in participating institutes between 2010 and 2020. The participants were followed up for at least 6 months after the injury. Individuals were divided into surgery (n = 114) and conservative treatment (n = 203) groups. To compare neurological outcomes and complications between the groups, propensity score matching of the baseline factors (characteristics, comorbidities, and neurological function) was performed. Results: After propensity score matching, the surgery and conservative treatment groups comprised 89 individuals each. Surgery was performed at a median of 9.0 (3–17) days after CSCI. Baseline factors were comparable between groups, and the standardized difference in the covariates in the matched cohort was <10%. The American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) impairment scale grade and ASIA motor score (AMS) 6 months after injury and changes in the AMS from baseline to 6 months after injury were not significantly different between groups (P = 0.63, P = 0.24, and P = 0.75, respectively). Few participants who underwent surgery demonstrated perioperative complications such as dural tear (1.1%), surgical site infection (2.2%), and C5 palsy (5.6%). Conclusion: Conservative treatment is suggested to be a more favorable option for older individuals with CSCI without bone injuries, but this finding requires further validation.

Objective: The management of cervical spine injuries in the elderly is often complicated by the presence of multiple medical comorbidities, and it is not uncommon for preoperative testing to reveal other conditions that require the postponement of surgery. However, the factors that affect the waiting time from injury to surgery have not been clarified. The purpose of this multicenter database study was to analyze the clinical features and identify the factors affecting the number of days waited between injury and surgery in elderly patients with a cervical spine injury. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the case histories of 1512 Japanese patients with a cervical spinal injury, who were seen at 33 institutions. After excluding patients who were not initially receiving a surgery for cervical spinal injury, 694 patients were ultimately analyzed. Based on a multivariate mixed model, we determined the factors related to the number of days from injury to surgery. Results: The mean time from injury to surgery was 12.3 days. Multivariate analysis revealed delays of 10.7 days for a renal disorder, 7.3 days for anticoagulant use, and 15.2 days for non-surgical thoracolumbar fracture as factors prolonging wait time. In contrast, a C3 or lower spine injury was significantly associated with a shortening of 9.5 days to surgery. Conclusions: This multicenter database study identified several factors influencing the time between injury and cervical spine surgery in elderly patients. While renal impairment, anticoagulant use, and non-surgical thoracolumbar fracture may increase the number of days to surgery, trauma to C3 or lower may expedite surgical treatment.

Affinos (Kuraray, Japan) is a β-tricalcium phosphate bone substitute with a unidirectional porous structure. This study aimed to investigate its efficacy on the healing process after filling for bone defects. Fifty-six patients who met the inclusion criteria were divided into cohort 1 (n = 30), including bones other than phalanges and metacarpal/tarsal bones, and cohort 2 (n = 26), including phalanges and metacarpal/tarsal bones. Semi-quantified scores for material resorption and trabeculation through the defect were evaluated with radiographs after surgery. In some patients, levels of bone metabolic markers were assessed. The values of resorption and trabeculation increased steadily with time, and trabeculation progressed compared with resorption in both cohorts. In cohort 1, multiple regression analyses showed that the diaphyseal lesion, smaller defect volume, and increased resorption values at 3 months were associated with increased values of resorption 12 months after surgery (R2 = 0.66, p < 0.001). The trabeculation values at 2 months were positively related to the trabeculation values 12 months after surgery (R2 = 0.35, p = 0.002). In cohort 2, the increased resorption values at 2 months and smaller defect volume significantly correlated with the increased resorption values 12 months after surgery (R2 = 0.58, p < 0.001). The ratio from the baseline of pyridinoline cross-linked carboxyterminal telopeptide of type I collagen at 3 months was negatively associated with the trabeculation values 12 months after surgery (R = − 0.791, p = 0.004). Evaluation of radiographic images and bone metabolic markers in the early postoperative period may predict the healing status at 12 months postoperatively in the defects followed by Affinos filling.

Although traumatic cervical spine injuries in older adults are commonly caused by minor traumas, such as ground-level falls, their prognosis is often unfavorable. Studies examining the clinical characteristics of cervical spine injuries in older adults according to the external cause of injury are lacking. This study included 1512 patients of ≥ 65 years of age with traumatic cervical spine injuries registered in a Japanese nationwide multicenter database. The relationship between the external causes and clinical characteristics, as well as factors causing unfavorable outcomes at the ground-level falls, were retrospectively reviewed and examined. When fall-induced cervical spine injuries were categorized and compared based on fall height, the patients’ backgrounds and injury statuses differed significantly. Of note, patients injured from ground-level falls tended to have poorer pre-injury health conditions, such as medical comorbidities and frailty, compared with those who fell from higher heights. For ground-level falls, the mortality, walking independence, and home-discharge rates at 6 months post-injury were 9%, 67%, and 80%, respectively, with preexisting medical comorbidities and frailty associated with unfavorable outcomes, independent of age or severity of neurological impairment at the time of injury.

Methods: We prospectively enrolled 68 patients with hip osteoarthritis scheduled for arthroplasty. Variables included manual examination of hip range of motion (H-ROM) and radiographic whole-body sagittal alignment parameters including sagittal vertical axis (SVA), center of acoustic meatus and femoral head offset (CAM-HA), thoracic kyphosis (TK), lumbar lordosis, sacral slope (SS), and knee flexion angle (KF). We divided patients with preoperative hip extension angle < 0 into the extension restriction (ER) + group and ≥ 0 into the ER− group. Differences in H-ROM, radiographic parameters between groups and postoperative changes were comparatively analyzed. Results: Fifty-seven patients (The ER + group included 28 patients and the ER− group included 29 patients.) were available for the analysis. Pre-/postoperative H-ROM were 99.7 ± 24.9/118.1 ± 16.0 degrees (p <.01). Greater increases in SVA (5.4 ± 3.4 vs 3.4 ± 2.8 cm, p =.02) and in CAM-HA (3.9 ± 3.9 vs 2.8 ± 3.4 cm, p = 013) were found in the ER + group versus ER− group. Postoperatively, the ER + group showed an increase in TK (pre-/postoperative: 35.2 ± 9.7/37.4 ± 8.8 degrees, p =.04) and decreases in SS (36.5 ± 9.6/33.7 ± 9.9 degrees, p <.01) and KF (9.5 ± 7.0/6.9 ± 6.0 degrees, p =.02). Postoperative changes in radiographic parameters in the ER− group were not significant. Conclusion: Patients with restriction of hip extension showed global spine imbalance, and significant changes in TK, SS, and KF were observed after arthroplasty. The presence of hip joint disorder and H-ROM restriction must be considered when evaluating spinopelvic alignment and whole-body sagittal alignment.

Purpose. Lumbar fusion combined with lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) and percutaneous pedicle screws (PPS) is a widely used, minimally invasive surgical treatment, but studies on incidence and risk factors for subsequent adjacent segment degeneration (ASD) are limited. This study was aimed at investigating midterm incidence and reoperation rate of ASD after indirect decompression (IDD) with LLIF and PPS and at clarifying the impact of preexisting adjacent facet osteoarthritis on development of ASD after IDD. Methods. Forty-one patients who underwent short-segment (1- or 2-level) lumbar fusion with LLIF and PPS with a minimum 5-year follow-up were analyzed. Cephalad adjacent facet osteoarthritis was classified as 1 (normal) to 4 (severe) by an established classification system on preoperative CT. ASD was diagnosed with plain radiographs taken preoperatively and up to 5 years postoperatively, and preoperative degree of facet osteoarthritis was compared between the ASD+ group and ASD- group (control). We also divided patients into two groups according to severity of facet degeneration, mild (grades 1-2) group and severe (grades 3-4) group, and investigated ASD-free survival of the groups by the Kaplan-Meier method. Results. The incidence of ASD at 5 years postoperatively was 34.1%, and the reoperation rate for ASD was 4.9%. The degree of preexisting facet joint osteoarthritis was significantly different between the ASD+ and ASD- groups (grade 1/2/3/4: 0/29/64/7% and 29/62/29/10%, P=0.008). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed the severe group to have significantly lower ASD-free survival than the mild group (P=0.017) at 5 years postoperatively. Conclusion. Comparative analysis of the ASD+ versus ASD- group showed preexisting facet joint osteoarthritis to be a risk factor for ASD progression after IDD. Additional longitudinal studies with long-term follow-up are needed to understand the causal relationship between facet joint degeneration and progression of adjacent segment deterioration following IDD.

Background: The 1-year mortality and functional prognoses of patients who received surgery for cervical trauma in the elderly remains unclear. The aim of this study is to investigate the rates of, and factors associated with mortality and the deterioration in walking capacity occurring 1 year after spinal fusion surgery for cervical fractures in patients 65 years of age or older. Methods: Three hundred thirteen patients aged 65 years or more with a traumatic cervical fracture who received spinal fusion surgery were enrolled. The patients were divided into a survival group and a mortality group, or a maintained walking capacity group and a deteriorated walking capacity group. We compared patients’ backgrounds, trauma, and surgical parameters between the two groups. To identify factors associated with mortality or a deteriorated walking capacity 1 year postoperatively, a multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted. Results: One year postoperatively, the rate of mortality was 8%. A higher Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) score, a more severe the American Spinal Cord Injury Association impairment scale (AIS), and longer surgical time were identified as independent factors associated with an increase in 1-year mortality. The rate of deterioration in walking capacity between pre-trauma and 1 year postoperatively was 33%. A more severe AIS, lower albumin (Alb) and hemoglobin (Hb) values, and a larger number of fused segments were identified as independent factors associated with the increased risk of deteriorated walking capacity 1 year postoperatively. Conclusions: The 1-year rate of mortality after spinal fusion surgery for cervical fracture in patients 65 years of age or older was 8%, and its associated factors were a higher CCI score, a more severe AIS, and a longer surgical time. The rate of deterioration in walking capacity was 33%, and its associated factors were a more severe AIS, lower Alb, lower Hb values, and a larger number of fused segments.

Study Design. A prospective multicenter study. Objective. This study aims to evaluate patient-reported outcomes using the Japanese Orthopedic Association Cervical Myelopathy Evaluation Questionnaire (JOACMEQ) and clarify clinical factors that affect the therapeutic effects for patients with cervical ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL). Summary of Background Data. Although previous studies identified factors that affected the surgical outcomes, their assessment was mainly based on the Japanese Orthopedic Association score, which only includes neurological function. Investigating this pathology through multiple functions and quality of life (QOL) is pivotal to understanding the comprehensive clinical pictures of the cervical OPLL and its therapeutic outcomes. Materials and Methods. This study was performed by the Japanese Multicenter Research Organization for Ossification of the Spinal Ligament. A total of 478 patients with myelopathy caused by cervical OPLL from 28 institutions were prospectively registered from 2014 to 2017 and followed up for 2 years. Of the patients, 168 received laminoplasties and fully completed questionnaires. Demographic information, imaging findings, and clinical outcomes were collected. Patients were grouped according to effective or ineffective surgical outcomes as defined by the JOACMEQ using logistic regression analyses. Results. Laminoplasty resulted in functional improvement in the cervical spine and upper extremity around 40% of the patients, while QOL showed only 21.4% (P<0.01). Multivariable analyses revealed that younger age and a postoperative decrease in arm or hand pain were correlated with significantly improved function of the upper extremities. A reduction in lower limb pain favorably affected the postoperative lower extremity function. A postoperative reduction in upper extremity pain enhanced the QOL recovery. Conclusions. Surgeons should recognize the diversity of surgical outcomes after laminoplasty and understand the necessity of pain management even after the surgery to enhance bodily functions and QOL in patients with cervical OPLL.

We report the case of a rare lipoma arising in the epidural space of a 14-year-old boy without spinal dysraphism. Lipomas are rare in pediatric soft tissue tumors, accounting for only about 4% of cases. The incidence of an intraspinal epidural lipoma without spinal dysraphism is extremely rare in pediatric patients. In this case, the patient had progressive motor deficits in the lower extremities and difficulty in urination and defecation. Magnetic resonance imaging showed an extradural tumor compressing the spinal cord at the T3–T7 level. Because of the progressive neurological deficits, we performed an emergency surgery. The tumor was completely resected en bloc, and histopathology revealed mature adipose tissue with fibrous septa, diagnosed as atypical lipomatous tumor / well-differentiated liposarcoma. The patient fully recovered and there was no tumor recurrence for 6 years since the surgery. However, re-examination using fluorescence in situ hybridization after 6 years of surgery changed the diagnosis to lipoma as no amplification of murine double-minute type 2 oncogene was observed. In liposarcoma, histopathological diagnosis using fluorescence in situ hybridization is mandatory. Our case illustrates that immunohistochemical diagnosis alone can be misleading. Hence, prompt surgery is required for progressive neuropathy

The diagnosis of pediatric spinal cord tumor is frequently delayed due to the presence of non-specific symptoms. We investigated the factors influencing the delay between the first symptom presentation and the diagnosis for pediatric spinal cord tumor. We retrospectively analyzed 31 patients of age <20 years (18 men, 13 women) who underwent surgery for spinal cord tumor at a single center during 1998–2018. We extracted the relevant data on patients’ symptoms, affected spinal location (cervical: C1-7, thoracic: T1-T12, and lumbosacral: L1-S), and tumor anatomical location (extradural, intradural extramedullary, and intramedullary tumor) that could potentially affect the duration of symptom presentation prior to the diagnosis. The most common symptom presented in the patients was pain (n = 22, 71.0 %). Motor symptoms such as paralysis was associated with early diagnosis (P = 0.039). The duration of symptoms prior to diagnosis was found to be significantly longer in patients with spinal tumor in the lumbar-sacral region than in those with the involvement of the cervical and thoracic regions (2.1 ± 1.7 months vs 13.6 ± 12.1 months; P = 0.006 and 2.9 ± 2.2 months vs 13.6 ± 12.1 months; P = 0.012, respectively). Our study results demonstrated that pain was the most common symptom in the examined patients, although it did not affect the delay in diagnosis, whereas the presentation of motor symptoms was helpful in the diagnosis of pediatric spinal cord tumor and the diagnosis could be delayed in lumbar-sacral spinal tumors
