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.

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, 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.

Experimental spinal cord compression by epidural neoplasms
Neurology, 1977We 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, 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 ...

Spinal cord schistosomiasis: A pediatric case mimicking intrinsic cord neoplasm
Neurology, 1991We 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, 1995Three 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.

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1936
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 ...

This article discusses the diagnostic approach to patients with suspected neoplasms of the spinal cord and reviews the most common primary and metastatic spinal neoplasms and their presentations.Neoplasms of the spinal cord are rare entities that can involve the spinal cord parenchyma, the dura and leptomeninges, or the extradural space.

Surgical Pathology of Intramedullary Spinal Cord Neoplasms
Journal of Neuro-Oncology, 2000The surgical pathology of intramedullary spinal cord neoplasms is most accurately based on radical resection specimens rather than on small biopsies, which may be highly misleading. A review of the neuropathology files at NYU Medical Center revealed 294 surgical specimens of intramedullary cord lesions examined between January 1, 1991 and December 31 ...
