Abstract:
Hemangiopericytoma is an uncommon mesenchymal neoplasm that rarely affects the spinal canal. Primary malignant hemangiopericytoma of the spinal column is extremely rare.Keywords:

The different parts of the vertebral column have been described, cervical (p. 186), thoracic (p. 3), lumbar (p. 59), sacral and coccygeal (p. 62). An articulated column consists of the bony vertebrae and the fibrocartilaginous intervertebral discs which form about one-quarter of the total height of the column. The column itself forms about two- fifths of the height of the whole body. Variations in total height reflect differences in the length of the lower limb much more than differences in the length of the vertebral column. The bodies of the vertebrae increase progressively in size from above downwards as far as the fifth lumbar vertebrae, below which they rapidly become smaller. This reflects the weight-bearing functions of the column and the transference of weight to the hip bones across the sacro-iliac joints.

The spinal column (vertebral column or backbone) provides both structural and nervous system support for your entire body. Made up of 34 bones, the spinal column holds the body upright, allows it to bend and twist with ease and provides a conduit for major nerves running from the brain to the tips of the toes—and everywhere in between. Here we explain the basics about spinal anatomy to help you understand your back or neck pain, the doctor’s diagnosis and treatment plan, and 10 steps you can take today to help prevent a spine problem. The entire spinal column consists of 24 individual bones called vertebrae (singular vertebra), plus 2 sections of naturally fused vertebrae—the sacrum and the coccyx—located at the very bottom of the spine. When most people talk about the spinal column, they’re actually referring to the vertebral column: the 24 circular vertebrae that march down the middle of the back. A normal vertebral column creates a graceful, double-S curve when viewed from the side of the body.

A new model of prophylactic sporting activity has been developed in the Cracow School Sports Center. Children and adolescents with postural lesions and various kinds of spinal curvature which did not exceed 15 degrees, including pubertal diseases of the vertebral column practise there types of sport adapted to the given physical characteristics, in order to avoid the appearance of painful conditions in the vertebral column region.

The vertebral column consists of repeating units of ossified vertebrae that are adjoined by fibrocartilagenous intervertebral discs. These structures form from the embryonic notochord and somitic mesoderm. In humans, congenital malformations of the vertebral column include scoliosis, kyphosis, spina bifida, and Klippel Feil syndrome. In adulthood, a common malady affecting the vertebral column includes disc degeneration and associated back pain. Indeed, recent reports estimate that low back pain is the number one cause of disability worldwide. Our review provides an overview of the molecular mechanisms underlying vertebral column morphogenesis and intervertebral disc development and maintenance, with an emphasis on what has been gleaned from recent genetic studies in mice. The aim of this review is to provide a developmental framework through which vertebral column formation can be understood so that ultimately, research scientists and clinicians alike can restore disc health with appropriately designed gene and cell‐based therapies.

The aim was to study the length parameters of the spinal column in a comparative aspect depending on gender and age in children under 8 years of age. It was found that the parameters of the spinal column in healthy girls and boys aged 0-7 years change abruptly, depending on the period of development of children. In early childhood, there was a rapid growth of the spinal column in girls 0-7 years old than in boys of the same age. The ratios of morphometric indicators of various parts of the spinal column changed with age - in the early period of childhood they were noted in the cervical and lumbar regions, and in the second period of childhood they were more pronounced in the thoracic and sacral regions of the spinal column. It has been proven that the length of the thoracic spine is more than half of the total length of the spinal column. Of all parts of the spinal column, the thoracic part in the first year of life and in subsequent years increased at a high rate, this is due to the development of the organs of the thoracic cavity and their functions.

It is not always possible to correlate bony column injuries with spinal cord injuries. Usually in severe disruption of the vertebral column severe neurological damage results, but not always. On the other hand, minor column disruptions usually do not cause neurological deficit, but sometimes total neurological dysfunction accompanies them.
