Effectiveness of a classification-based approach to low back pain in primary care - a benchmarking controlled trial
Conclusion: Although classification-based care did not appear to influence physical functioning, more rapid reductions in pain intensity and reductions in healthcare use and sick leave days were observed in the intervention group.PMID:38643363 | DOI:10.2340/jrm.v56.28321 (Source: Journal of Rehabilitation Medicine)

Cauda equina neuroendocrine tumor: a report of three cases and review of the literature with focus on differential diagnosis and postoperative management
We report on three patients, two of them presenting with a clinical history of lower back pain and sciatica. In all cases magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the lumbosacral spine with and without Gd-DTPA revealed an intradural lesion with strong contrast enhancement, first described as atypical ependymoma or schwannoma. A complete tumor resection was achieved in all cases, the histopathological diagnosis classified the tumors as CENETs.In our literature review, a total of 688 articles were screened and 162 patients were included. Patients demographic data, clinical symptoms, resection and recurrence were recorded.Discussi...

Primary intradural Extraosseous Ewing's sarcoma of the cauda equina: a Case Report and Literature Review
We report a case of a 66-year-old male who presented with a 2-month history of low back pain and bilateral S1 sciatica, with acute sphincter dysfunction. Imaging studies revealed an intradural extramedullary lesion in the cauda equina spanning from level L4 to S1. The patient underwent partial removal of the intradural lesion. Histopathological examination showed the presence of small round cells, which were consistent with Ewing Sarcoma. The patient was then treated with targeted radiation therapy and chemotherapy. The rarity of IEES in this specific location underscores the significance of evaluating and managing patient...
