Body
was changed:
Vertebra plana orpancake vertebra is the term given when a vertebral body has lost almost its entire height anteriorly and posteriorly, representing a very advanced crush fracture. It can occur with a variety of settings, including:
- trauma
- osteoporosis
-
eosinophilicLangerhans cell histiocytosis- proliferation of Langerhans cells and mature eosinophils.
- most common cause of vertebra plana in children.
-
can present as: lytic lesion (more common), vertebraplana, eosinophilic granuloma
(LCH. claasic: double contour (beveled edge). usually involves a single level.
- osteogenesis imperfecta
-
leukaemia
- the most common primary pediatric primary malignancy.
- Loss of vertebral height and increased sclerosis are comm in the vertebral body.
- vertebral metastases
- multiple myeloma
-
lymphoma
- B symptoms and multiple levels involvement unlike LCH which commonly involves a single level.
- osteomyelitis
-
Bacterial infection commonly causes disk destruction and vertebralbody end-plate erosions, unlike spinal tuberculosis
2 - vertebral haemangioma
