Schwannoma of the conus medullaris.
We report a rare case of schwannoma of the conus medullaris. A 38-year-old female presented with pain and numbness in her lower limbs. Magnetic resonance imaging confirmed a heterogenous tumour of the conus medullaris. A subtotal resection was performed and histology confirmed schwannoma. The literature regarding these rare tumours, and their cell of origin, is reviewed.
متن کاملIntramedullary cystic lesions of the conus medullaris.

Because of increased immigration to the United States from endemic areas, the incidence of neurocysticercosis has risen, especially in California, Texas, Arizona, and other southwestern states, but not in Wisconsin....
متن کاملCoexisting intramedullary schwannoma with an ependymal cyst of the conus medullaris: A case report
Synchronous spinal intramedullary ependymal cysts and intramedullary schwannomas are rare.
