Dermoid of the conus medullaris
Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, 2004Dermoids are rare midline tumours. When involving the spinal cord they usually present early, in the first decade of life. We present a case of an elderly male with paraparesis. His MRI showed cord expansion at the tip of the conus medullaris; contrast enhancement with Gadolinium revealed a cystic lesion and histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of a ...

Paediatric ganglioglioma of the conus medullaris
Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, 2011Gangliogliomas of the conus medullaris are very rare, with only 12 patients reported so far. We report a 6-year-old male who presented with a painless numbness of the left lower limb and with bladder dysfunction. MRI revealed an intramedullary lesion at the T11-T12 vertebral levels. The tumour was subtotally removed.

Extramedullary Hemangioblastoma of the Conus Medullaris
Acta Neurochirurgica, 2000We report the case of an extramedullary pathologically proven hemangioblastoma of the conus medullaris. As spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas most commonly present with a conus medullaris syndrome, our presentation of the MRI, myelographic, and angiographic findings of this unique lesion may be useful in differentiating these two entities.We report ...

A case of conus medullaris teratoma
Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, 2018In this report, we present a case of an adult patient with a mature teratoma of the conus medullaris. The patient was a 29-year-old postpartum female patient who developed unexplained urinary retention. Lumbar spine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination revealed an intradural partly enhancing mixed cystic and solid lesion with intralesional ...

METASTASIS TO THE CONUS MEDULLARIS
Neurosurgery, 2006Metastasis from lung cancer to the conus medullaris has never been reported in the English literature, although three cases have appeared in the French and Japanese literature. Our case report is unique because the patient presented with a lumbar radiculopathy, an atypical presentation that was found to be caused by metastasis from lung cancer to the ...

Ependymal cyst in the conus medullaris
Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, 2010The immunohistological features and surgical treatment of an intramedullary ependymal cyst in the conus medullaris is presented. An intramedullary ependymal cyst is a rare lesion of dysembryoplastic origin. There have been only seven patients reported with pathologically proven ependymal cysts in the conus medullaris.

Ruptured Conus Medullaris Arteriovenous Malformation
2019Abstract: Conus medullaris arteriovenous malformations are an exceedingly rare cause of neurological deficit. They occupy the tip of the spinal cord and can generate motor, sensorty, bowel, bladder, or sexual function deficits. Because of the complex vascular supply of the caudal aspect of the spinal cord, which usually includes multiple feeders from ...

Cauda Equina: Conus Medullaris Ependymoma
2004Tumors of the cauda equina-conus medullaris region are often well-defined, small masses attached to the filum terminale. These lesions are dissected from the nerve roots and the tip of the spinal cord relatively easily. A portion of uninvolved filum terminale is usually present between the tumor and spinal cord.
