Abstract
Objective. To assess the informative value of transcutaneous needle trepanobiopsy in children for diagnostics of destructive vertebral lesions restricted to a single spinal motion segment.
Material and Methods. Fifty children with destructive vertebral lesions were examined. Standard radiologic (X-ray, CT, MRI, and radioisotope scanning) and laboratory (bone marrow puncture) tests were supplemented by radiologically controlled transcutaneous trepanobiopsy with a consequent cytological analysis of aspirated material. Procedure was performed in 26 children aged 5 to 16 years.
Results. Cytological conclusions based on transcutaneous biopsy findings were obtained for 23 impression smears, while 3 smears were not informative for analysis. Comparison of cytological and histologic findings revealed their agreement in 19 out of 26 patients (73.0 %), and after exclusion of non-informative impression smears – in 19 out of 23 patients (82.6 %).
Conclusion. Transcutaneous needle trepanobiopsy of vertebral bodies is a less invasive and highly informative technique increasing the possibility of preoperative diagnostics of circumscribed destructive vertebral lesions in children up to the level close to 80.0 %.
