Intradural Clival Chordoma: A Case Report
Clival chordoma is a rare intracranial neoplasm located in the clivus with bony extension and destruction. It is difficult to resect completely and generally has a poor prognosis. However, intradural clival chordomas have been reported with good surgical outcomes. We present a rare case of intradural chordoma and a review of the literature.
متن کاملAcute Phase Reactants as a Prognostic Factor in Acute Stroke
Introduction: Elevated levels of CRP are present among patients at risk for further first-ever myocardial infarction and stroke. It has been shown that after ischemic stroke, increased levels of CRP are associated with unfavorable outcomes. Methods: From 120 patients admitted to the emergency unit of our hospital with the diagnosis of stroke CRP, D-dimer and ferritin level was measured and the ...
متن کاملDelayed intraventricular metastasis of clival chordoma
Intracranial chordomas are typically clival and extradural in location, yet these tumors can obviously invade the dura. However, primary intradural chordomas without local extension is a rare event with approximately 47 cases reported in literature. Furthermore, all intradural chordoma reports appear to be extraventricular in location.[1,2] In addition, through advances in technology and optics...
متن کاملFulminant Meningitis after Radiotherapy for Clival Chordoma
The best treatment for clival chordoma is obtained with total surgical excision, sometimes combined with adjuvant radiotherapy. A cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) fistula is a fatal complication that may occur following extended transsphenoidal surgery (TSS) and adjuvant radiotherapy. We report a case of fulminant meningitis without a CSF fistula in a 57-year-old woman who underwent TSS and multiple r...
متن کاملadditional value of diffusion-weighted imaging to evaluate prognostic factors of breast cancer: correlation with the apparent diffusion coefficient
results a low adc value was associated with lymph node metastasis (p < 0.01) and with high ki-67 protein levels (p = 0.03). there were no significant differences in the adc values among the histological grade (p = 0.48), molecular subtype (p = 0.51), tumor size (p = 0.46), and p53 protein level (p = 0.62). conclusion the pre-operative use of the 3.0 tesla dwi could provide information about the...
