Study • Period 1995-2005 • Patients 24 • Follow up 54 months (6-120) CTOS 2005
Material and Methods • Gender 16 ♂, 8 ♀ • Median age 23 years (8 – 55) • Median size lesion 8.5 mm (5 - 15) • Volume 0,7 cm3 (0,1-2,5) CTOS 2005
Location 24 locations in 24 patients • Cervical 3 • Thoracic 10 • Lumbar 7 • Sacral 4 CTOS 2005
Distance lesion to vital structures ≤ 2mm in 15 patients : • Dural sac 12 • Foramen 10 • Vertebral artery 1 • Nerve root 1 Hadjipavlou AGSpine. 2003 28(22):E472-7 CTOS 2005

Procedures CTOS 2005
Results • Residual disease in 5 patients: • Second procedure 3 (3, 9 and 10 months) • Third procedure 1 (28 months) • Open surgery 1 (6 months) CTOS 2005
Results • DISEASE FREE AT FINAL FU 100% NO PAIN CTOS 2005
Results • Scoliosis • Before procedure 58% (14) • After procedure 17% (4) CTOS 2005
Results • Complications NONE • Skin Burns 0 • Neurological deficit 0 Sans N, Radiology 1999;212: 687–92. CTOS 2005
C3 mid lesion CTOS 2005
C3 MRI T1 CTOS 2005
2nd RF Ablation C3 3 months CTOS 2005
2nd RF Ablation C3 8 months CTOS 2005
Conclusion • CT-guided RF ablation of spinal osteoid osteomas is a successful minimal invasive procedure • It is safe if the thermo probe is positioned at least 5 mm from vital structures • Open surgery in case of tumor adherent to nerve root CTOS 2005
The combination of percutaneous radiofrequency heat ablation and vertebroplasty seems to be a promising, feasible, minimally invasive technique in the treatment of spinal metastases with cortical defects bedankt
