Part I: Spinal-cord neoplasms—intradural neoplasms
Lancet Oncology, The, 2007Intradural 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 ...

Cystic Intramedullary Neoplasms of the Spinal Cord
Seminars in Spine Surgery, 2006Some of the less common, but extremely important, causes of cystic lesion within the confines of the spine are spinal cord neoplasms. The cystic component can be from within the neoplasm itself or from the syrinx cavity created by the tumor. Understanding the imaging characteristics of the lesion will aid in narrowing the differential diagnosis and ...

PRIMARY EXTRADURAL NEOPLASMS CAUSING SPINAL CORD COMPRESSION
ANZ Journal of Surgery, 1983Thirteen 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 ...

Enlargement of the spinal cord: Inflammation or neoplasm?
Clinical Neurology and Neurosurgery, 2006Intramedullary 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

Spinal Cord Compression Due to Metastatic Neoplasm
Southern Medical Journal, 1990A 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.

There are but few organs in the human body in which neoplastic disease occurs in a more benign form and the results of surgery are more brilliant than in the spinal cord and its membranes. At the same time there is no organ in which total restoration of function following the removal of the neoplasm is so completely dependent on an early diagnosis ...

Schistosomal myelopathy mimicking spinal cord neoplasm
Scandinavian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2005We 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.
