TUMORS OF THE MEDULLA OBLONGATA

Archives of Neurology And Psychiatry, 1952
THE FIRST report of a tumor in the medulla oblongata was that of Chevalier 1 in 1834. Since that initial report there have appeared in the medical literature descriptions of a total of 57 cases of primary tumors of the medulla. Practically all these reports have described single cases or have mentioned the tumors in question incidentally in treatises ...

Rat medulla oblongata. I. Cytoarchitectonic considerations

Journal of Comparative Neurology, 1985
AbstractThe goal of thin study was to define the detailed cytoarchitecture of the medulla oblongata of the rat in order to accurately localize immunocytochemically distinct populations of neurons in this region. The cytoarchitectonic features of this region of the rat brain stem were examined in 40 μm thick serial sections of celloidin embedded brains ...

Solitary Metastasis to the Medulla Oblongata

Southern Medical Journal, 1983
Of 40 reported cases of solitary brain stem metastasis, only two patients had medullary lesions. We have presented a third case, suggesting that this infrequent occurrence may be due to the mid-brain and pons having a more abundant blood supply, with increased potential for metastatic deposits, and being larger targets for metastases than the medulla.

Bacterial abscess of the medulla oblongata

Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, 2009
Isolated brainstem abscess, specifically, medullary abscess, is rare and often fatal. Diagnosis requires appropriate imaging and a high degree of clinical suspicion. Good outcomes are possible. A 69-year-old woman presented with an isolated medulla oblongata abscess that manifested as a syndrome of rapidly progressive multiple cranial nerve palsies and
