Spinal arteriovenous fistulas of the filum terminale.
The filum terminale is an anatomic structure at the end of the spinal cord. Only a few cases of AVFs of the filum terminale have been reported. These AVFs usually consist of a single communication between the anterior spinal artery and a single draining vein. We retrospectively analyzed the clinical and radiologic features and treatment of 4 patients with spinal AVFs of the filum terminale. Cli...

متن کاملExtracellular diffusion parameters in spinal cord and filum terminale of the frog.
Extracellular space (ECS) diffusion parameters were studied in isolated frog spinal cord grey matter and filum terminale (FT), that is predominantly composed of glial cells and axons. We compared the cell swelling induced by K(+) application, hypotonic stress and tetanic stimulation of afferent input. The ECS diffusion parameters, volume fraction alpha (alpha = ECS volume/total tissue volume), ...
متن کاملMature spinal teratoma associated with thickened filum terminale.
A 30-year-old man presented with an intradural spinal teratoma with thickened filum terminale manifesting as urinary and sexual disturbances, and low back pain persisting for 4 years. Spinal magnetic resonance imaging revealed thickened filum terminale containing a heterogeneously enhanced intradural lesion extending from the L-3 to L-4 levels and in contact with the conus medullaris. The filum...
متن کاملRadiological predictors of neurological compromise in adults with filum terminale lipoma.
T appropriate management of adults with filum lipoma (FL) with normal neurological status remains unclear.1,2 Factors such as younger age at presentation, low-lying conus medullaris (CM), thick FL, and the proximity of fat to the CM has not been consistent in the literature in predicting the development of neurological deficits.1-3 The objective of the present study was to evaluate radiological...
