Surgically Treated Primary Spinal Cord Neoplasms in Southeastern Nigeria. [PDF]

J Neurosci Rural Pract, 2018
ABSTRACT Background: Primary spinal cord tumors are not as frequently encountered as their cranial counterparts. They could present in such an indolent manner that requires a reasonable index of suspicion for their diagnosis to be considered. Objective: The objective of this study is to analyze the incidence and pattern of primary spinal cord

Radiation myelopathy of cervical spinal cord simulating intramedullary neoplasm [PDF]

Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, 1974
Radiation myelopathy is a well-known complication of irradiation therapy of neoplasms in the vicinity of the spinal cord. Most earlier authors have stressed the association of a normal myelogram and normal CSF protein level with this condition. One case of radiation myelopathy with a myelogram simulating intramedullary neoplasm and with extremely high ...
