We report another case and provide a review of the literature, with a focus on appropriate management. CASE DESCRIPTION A 60-year-old male rode his bicycle into a stationary semi-truck.

متن کاملExtraosseous chordoma of the nasopharynx.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Chordoma is a relatively rare tumor of the skull base and sacrum thought to originate from embryonic remnants of the notochord. Chordomas arising from the skull base/clivus are typically locally aggressive with lytic bone destruction. When chordomas occur in an extraosseous location, they may mimic other lesions of the nasopharynx. We present 5 cases of primarily extraoss...
متن کاملImproved Imaging of the Cervico-Thoracic Junction in Computed Tomography
PURPOSE To reduce beam hardening artifacts caused by the shoulder joint, we explored new and unique methods to improve the quality of images, such as varying the injection site and changing the position of patients (swimmers position). MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifth-four patients underwent neck CT examinations performed in routine and swimmers position and with a 64-slice MDCT scanner in spiral ...
متن کاملExtraosseous spinal chordoma: radiographic appearance.

متن کاملTenosynovial giant cell tumor in the cervico-thoracic junction.
Tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TGT) rarely arises from the posterior coloumn of the cervical spine. Most lesions of TGT involve the tendon sheath and joint lining of the small joints of the fingers and hands, and consecutively the knee, ankles and feet, and hips. Rate of extra-articular presentation is about 5-15% in all cases. In this report, a case with paraparesis caused by T...
