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.

Continuum
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.

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 ...

Spinal—pelvic fixation in patients with lumbosacral neoplasms
Journal of Neurosurgery: Spine, 2000Object. Primary and metastatic neoplasms of the lumbosacral junction frequently pose a complex problem for the surgical management and stabilization of the spine because of the anatomical and biomechanical factors of this transition zone between spine and pelvis.

Spinal cord neoplasms and their mimics
Journal de Radiologie, 2008Objectifs Understand the pathologic-radiologic correlation of spinal cord ependymoma and astrocytoma regarding its location within the spinal cord and appearance. Recognize common imaging manifestations of other spinal cord neoplasms. Identify other imaging features that suggest other non-neoplastic spinal cord diseases.

Preoperative Transarterial Embolization of Spinal Column Neoplasms
Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology, 1995To determine the safety and value of vertebral column embolization before surgical resection of vascular neoplastic disease.Thirty preoperative embolization procedures were performed in 20 patients with vascular neoplasms of the vertebral column (C-2 to sacrum). Fourteen patients had metastatic renal cell carcinoma.

Asymptomatic spinal cord neoplasm detected during induction of spinal anesthesia
International Journal of Obstetric Anesthesia, 2010We 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.

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 ...

Spinal dural AV fistula mimicking a vertebral neoplasm
Acta Radiologica, 2001A middle-aged man with spinal dural arteriovenous fistula mimicking a vertebral neoplasm of Th11 is described. CT and MR imaging revealed the rare case of extensive vertebral destruction of Th11.
