Twenty-five responders recommended immobilization even in an asymptomatic patient whereas 38 would immobilize those with neurological involvement only. All but 4 responders would repeat imaging at different time points. The response of medical treatment was judged at 1 month by 53, and 3 months by 26 responders. Surgery was recommended in a minority of patients\u2014in those with neurological involvement or abscess. Surgeons more frequently biopsied, immobilized the patients, and recommended surgery compared to the physicians. The residents also recommended biopsy and recommended immobilization more frequently compared to consultants or faculty members.
