Ganglioglioma of conus medullaris

Acta Neurochirurgica, 2006
Gangliogliomas are glioneuronal tumours of the young, and occur more frequently supratentorially. Among those uncommon cases in the spinal cord, the conus medullaris is an extremely rare site. We reviewed the literature of such cases and report another case of a ganglioglioma of the conus in a 13-year-old boy with an insidious sensory sensitive and ...

Gliomas of the Conus Medullaris

Tumori Journal, 1996
Aims and background: Gliomas of the conus medullaris often show characteristic clinical, radiological, and intraoperative features which differ from gliomas involving other parts of the spinal cord. Methods: Eight patients with histologically verified gliomas of the conus medullaris were diagnosed and studied. Results:.

Infarction of the Conus medullaris

European Neurology, 1990
We encountered a patient with acute cauda equina syndrome. The clinical course, laboratory data and imaging study, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) strongly suggested that this episode was caused by a vascular disorder of the conus medullaris.

Conus medullaris nerve root avulsions

Journal of Neurosurgery, 1987
✓ The association of avulsive lesions and pain has been well established in avulsions of the brachial plexus from the cervical spinal cord, but avulsive lesions of the conus medullaris have not previously been recognized or documented by direct observation. Six patients with intractable lower-extremity pain due to avulsion of nerve roots from the conus

Infarction of the conus medullaris

Annals of Neurology, 1987
AbstractWe describe 5 patients who presented with an acute cauda equina syndrome, which we believe was due to infarction of the conus medullaris. In 3 patients, the onset was spontaneous, and in 2 patients it was secondary to temporary occlusion of the distal aorta during medical manipulation.

Schwannoma of the conus medullaris

Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, 2005
We report a rare case of schwannoma of the conus medullaris. A 38-year-old female presented with pain and numbness in her lower limbs. Magnetic resonance imaging confirmed a heterogenous tumour of the conus medullaris. A subtotal resection was performed and histology confirmed schwannoma.

Teratoma of the conus medullaris

Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, 1999
Intramedullary teratoma is a rare neoplasm. To our knowledge only 10 cases have been reported so far, eight of mature teratoma and two of immature. We present a new case of mature teratoma located in the conus medullaris. After 2 years increasing complaints and worsening neurologic deficits, the neoplasm was discovered by magnetic resonance imaging and
