Sacral insufficiency fracture after stereotactic body radiation therapy for sacral metastasis

Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) allows the targeting of high doses of radiation with steep dose gradients. Vertebral fracture is increasingly recognized as an adverse event after SBRT; however, no sacral fractures have been observed after SBRT. We report an extremely rare case of sacral i...

Sumario:Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) allows the targeting of high doses of radiation with steep dose gradients. Vertebral fracture is increasingly recognized as an adverse event after SBRT; however, no sacral fractures have been observed after SBRT. We report an extremely rare case of sacral insufficiency fracture after SBRT.
