The dural sac spiking sign: predictive significance of magnetic resonance imaging-detected dural morphological abnormalities for dural tears in lumbar burst fractures
The dural sac spiking sign on axial MRI imaging may serve as a radiographic marker for dural tears in lumbar burst fractures. When combined with neurological assessment and fracture morphology evaluation, this sign enhances preoperative recognition of dural injury risks, enabling tailored surgical planning and meticulous decompression to reduce iatrogenic neural injury during intervention.
