Description

We present two patients with spinal cord tumors that caused scalloping of the vertebral bodies.<BR>One patient had multiple cystic tumors in the thoraco-lumbosacral region associated with von Recklinghausen's disease, and the other had multiple tumors in the thoracolumbar region.<BR>Both patients showed dural ectasia, probably due to chronic intraspinal hypertension.<BR>According to Hadley, scalloping is visualized as erosion of the posterior surfaces of the vertebral bodies on conventional lateral X-ray films.<BR>In case one, scalloping of the vertebral bodies was combined with erosion of the articular processes and laminae with no evidence of discal destruction, and dural ectasia was also noted at the disc space level.
