Part I: Spinal-cord neoplasms—intradural neoplasms

The Lancet Oncology, 2007
Intradural spinal-cord tumours are an uncommon but important consideration in the differential diagnosis of patients with back pain, radicular pain, sensorimotor deficits, or sphincter dysfunction. Intradural spinal tumours can be divided into intramedullary and extramedullary spinal-cord tumours on the basis of their anatomical relation to the spinal ...

Schistosomal myelopathy mimicking spinal cord neoplasm

Scandinavian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2005
We describe a 48-y-old male with chronic progressive myelopathy suggesting thoracic intramedullary neoplasm but in whom laboratory workup disclosed Schistosoma mansoni myelopathy. The case illustrates the need for careful investigation of schistosomiasis in patients from endemic regions with myeloradiculopathy signs.

Spinal Cord Neoplasms

2010
Spinal cord neoplasms are an uncommon cause of back pain, radicular pain, or sensorymotor defi cits. Primary tumors that involve the spinal cord or nerve roots may arise from glial cells located within the parenchyma of the cord, Schwann cells of the nerve roots, or meningeal cells covering the cord.

Spinal Cord Compression Due to Metastatic Neoplasm

Southern Medical Journal, 1990
A retrospective study of 73 assessable patients with spinal cord compression due to metastatic tumor was conducted. Fifty-five patients had paraparesis and 18 were paraplegic. Treatment consisted of surgical decompression in 22 patients, radiotherapy in 31 patients, and a combination of both modalities in 20 patients.

Experimental spinal cord compression by epidural neoplasms

Neurology, 1977
We have developed an experimental model of spinal cord compression in rats. Tumor injected anterior to the T-12 vertebral body grows through the intervertebral foramina to compress the cord and produces paraplegia in 3 to 4 weeks. Evidence for vasogenic edema in spinal cord compressed by tumor includes increased water content, leakage of horseradish ...

PRIMARY EXTRADURAL NEOPLASMS CAUSING SPINAL CORD COMPRESSION

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Surgery, 1983
Thirteen patients presented primary extradural neoplasms compressing the spinal cord and/or roots in a four year period. Laminectomy and tumour excision or biopsy were carried out in twelve patients and transthoracic resection in the one remaining. Six tumours were benign; two were neurofibromata associated with von Recklinghausen's disease; two were ...

Spinal cord schistosomiasis: A pediatric case mimicking intrinsic cord neoplasm

Neurology, 1991
We present the clinical, myelographic, MRI, and histologic data on a 7-year-old girl with confirmed Schistosoma mansoni infection of the spinal cord. MRI of the granulomatous spinal lesion revealed extensive enlargement of the cord in the T11-12 area, with some intramedullary swelling extending to T-5 through T-7.

Vascular Malformations Presenting as Spinal Cord Neoplasms: Case Report

Neurosurgery, 1995
Three cases of adult patients with subacute courses of progressive caudal spinal cord disease are presented. Computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and myelographic studies were interpreted preoperatively as representing a spinal cord neoplasm in each case.

Asymptomatic spinal cord neoplasm detected during induction of spinal anesthesia

International Journal of Obstetric Anesthesia, 2010
We report a case of an asymptomatic spinal cord neoplasm detected during the placement of a 25-gauge Whitacre spinal needle for spinal anesthesia before elective cesarean delivery. Subarachnoid blood was repeatedly aspirated during otherwise uncomplicated induction of spinal anesthesia.

Enlargement of the spinal cord: Inflammation or neoplasm?

Clinical Neurology and Neurosurgery, 2006
Intramedullary spinal tumours are uncommon lesions that can cause significant difficulties in the differential diagnosis between inflammatory diseases such as multiple sclerosis and acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, and vascular malformations or neoplasms. We report five cases in which the history and the clinical symptoms suggested an inflammatory
