The present study aimed to identify the clinical predictive factors for worsened spinal deformity (SD) following surgical resection via posterior approach for primary intramedullary tumors. ⋯ This study highlights the importance of considering age, preoperative spinal deformity, and thoracolumbar junction involvement as predictors of postoperative spinal deformity following surgical resection for IMSCT. These findings may provide guidance for the management of these patients, including the development of preoperative planning strategies and the selection of the most appropriate surgical approach for high-risk patients.

The present study aimed to comparatively evaluate intraoperative blood loss (IBL) and perioperative complications between preoperative embolization (PE) and nonembolization (NE) combined with spinal tumor surgeries as well as to determine the subgroup of spinal tumor surgeries suitable for PE. ⋯ PE may be suitable for spinal tumor surgeries and some subgroups. From the perspective of complications, PE may also be a feasible option for spinal tumor surgeries.

Review Meta Analysis
Comparative efficacy of ultrasound guidance and fluoroscopy or computed tomography guidance in spinal nerve injections: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Spinal nerve injections have traditionally been performed under fluoroscopic (FL) and computed tomography (CT) guidance. Recently, ultrasound (US)-guided procedures have provided an alternative guidance approach that does not expose the patient and operator to radiation. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of US-guided spinal nerve injections compared with FL- or CT-guided spinal nerve injections. ⋯ Open Science Forum (Available from: https://osf.io/vt92w/ ).
