Meningiomas are usually arise within the dura, sometimes extend beyond it, but completely outside the dura are very rare. Spinal meningiomas represent around 10% of all meningiomas and, commonly occur as intradural extramedullary lesions.

We describe a case of a 51-year-old intravenous drug user wit...
متن کاملCervical spine spondylodiscitis mimicking teardrop fracture
Pyogenic spondylodiscitis can have nonspecific clinical and imaging presentations. In this report, we describe a case of pyogenic spondylodisicits of cervical spine mimicking teardrop fracture on radiography. Subsequent CT-guided biopsy helped identify the correct diagnosis and the responsible pathogen, Staphylococcus aureus.
