Subependymoma of the conus medullaris with cystic formation: Case report and a literature review.

World Neurosurgery, 2020
BACKGROUND Subependymoma in the spinal cord is very rare and usually occurs in the cervical cord. Here, we report an exceptional case of subependymoma that occurs at the conus medullaris with cystic formation.

Paediatric ganglioglioma of the conus medullaris

Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, 2011
Gangliogliomas 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.

A case of conus medullaris teratoma

Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, 2018
In 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 ...

Extramedullary Hemangioblastoma of the Conus Medullaris

Acta Neurochirurgica, 2000
We 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 ...

METASTASIS TO THE CONUS MEDULLARIS

Neurosurgery, 2006
Metastasis 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 ...

Primary conus medullaris arteriovenous shunt and secondary lumbo-sacral epidural arteriovenous fistula:one malformation can hide another.

Journal of neuroradiology. Journal de neuroradiologie, 2019
We report an anatomical-based association between conus medullaris pial arteriovenous shunt that drain caudally towards the lumbosacral area with very delayed onset of an acquired lumbar epidural shunt, draining secondarily towards intradural veins and ...

Glioblastoma Multiforme of the Conus Medullaris - Management Strategies and Complications.

World Neurosurgery, 2019
Primary spinal glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) of the conus medullaris is a rare and devastating pathology. Presenting symptoms commonly include progressive neurologic deficits in the lower extremities, bowel and bladder dysfunction, and low back pain ...

The conus medullaris ratio: A new way to identify tethered cord on MRI.

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 2019
PURPOSE Approximately 25% of patients with anorectal malformation have tethered cord. The traditional way of determining conus medullaris level on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) relies on counting vertebrae, which may be challenging due to vertebral ...

A method for quantitative 2‐dimensional sonographic analysis of the fetal conus medullaris position

Journal of ultrasound in medicine, 2018
This study explored the use of 2‐dimensional (2D) ultrasound scans for the quantitative assessment of the fetal conus medullaris (CM) position and its correlation with gestational age (GA).
