Pneumorrhachis of the entire spinal canal [PDF]
Pneumorrhachis (PR)—the curious phenomenon of intraspinal air—is an exceptional radiographic finding. In this report the first case of PR of the entire spine is presented. A 19 year old man with a history of diabetes mellitus and bronchial asthma was admitted because of cough, fever, nausea, and vomiting for 3 days. Physical examination and laboratory

Intradural angiomatous meningioma arising from a thoracic nerve root [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Spinal intradural meningiomas that arise purely from a nerve root without dural attachments are extremely rare. Spinal meningiomas arise from arachnoidal cap cells in the spinal canal, and growth of these tumors exerts pressure on the spinal ...
