Intradural spinal lipoma of the cervical cord

American Journal of Roentgenology, 1985
Intraspinal subdunal lipomas are rare tumors of the spinal canal. Such tumors occur in the thonacic and cervical region; however, extension into the posterior fossa and fourth vantridle is most unusual. We describe two children, an infant and a teenager, with progressive neunologic deficit from such a lipomatous tumor. The lipoma in the infant extended

Injury to the Cervical Spinal Cord in the Dog

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1971
SUMMARY Cervical spinal cord trauma in a dog resulted from a penetrating gunshot wound. The dog was in a state of tetraparesis at the time of examination (one week after being wounded) and had marked extensor rigidity of the limbs on the left side (side of the cord on which the shot was located). There was some evidence that the dog was affected by the

Radiation tolerance of the cervical spinal cord

International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics, 1989
The incidence of permanent injury to the spinal cord as a complication of radiation therapy generally correlates positively with total radiation dosage. However, several reports in the literature have indicated that fraction size is also an important factor in the development or nondevelopment of late injuries in normal tissue.

Cervical spinal cord intramedullary teratoma

Clinical Neurology and Neurosurgery, 2006
We present the case of a 62-year-old patient suffering from the presence of a cervical spinal cord intramedullary teratoma and treated operatively. The purpose of this case report is to describe the highly unusual localization of the intramedullary teratoma associated with other vertebral malformations. A review of the literature is also presented.

Intramedullary Cervical Spinal Cord Abscess

World Neurosurgery, 2017
Intramedullary spinal cord abscesses are rarely encountered in modern neurosurgical practice. Select patients are at high risk for developing an intramedullary spinal cord abscess, which can result in acute neurologic deficits. Patients with failed conservative management may benefit from early surgical intervention; however, the evidence is limited by

Cervical spinal cord in experimental hydrocephalus

Journal of Neurosurgery, 1972
✓ Adult dogs were rendered hydrocephalic by the injection of kaolin into the cisterna magna. One group of dogs was sacrificed 1 month after kaolin administration, and ventriculojugular shunts were performed on the other group. Hydrocephalic dogs with shunts were sacrificed 1 day or 1 week after the shunting procedure.

Imaging of Spinal Cord Injury: Acute Cervical Spinal Cord Injury, Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy, and Cord Herniation

Seminars in Ultrasound, CT and MRI, 2016
We review the pathophysiology and imaging findings of acute traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI), cervical spondylotic myelopathy, and briefly review the much less common cord herniation as a unique cause of myelopathy. Acute traumatic SCI is devastating to the patient and the costs to society are staggering.

Cervical Spinal Cord Injury???A Public Catastrophe

The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1987
Cervical spine cord injuries continue to be a major cause of death and disability for trauma victims. Motor vehicle trauma results in 500 to 650 quadriplegic patients per year. Most of the patients are cared for at Level I trauma centers which may not have a dedicated rehabilitation facility.

Morphometry of the Normal Cadaveric Cervical Spinal Cord

Spine, 1994
We measured the cross-sectional area and diameters of the C7 segment in 80 cadaveric specimens obtained from patients without spinal cord lesions died at 60 to 79 years of age. We found considerable individual variation in the spinal cord size. The transverse area of the C7 segment varied from 33.3 mm2 to 67.7 mm2 (mean 48.4 +/- 6.9 mm2).

Dysraphic Lesions of the Cervical Spinal Cord

Neurosurgery Clinics of North America, 1995
Cervical spina bifida, either occult or overt, is relatively uncommon. These lesions tend to be associated with other abnormalities of the central nervous system and spine. For the occult dysraphic lesions, a Klippel-Feil syndrome is a particular association, especially the type I variety.
