A 28 year-old lady presented in OPD with complaints of progressive spastic quadriparesis. Bowel and bladder involvement was present. MRI of the cervical spine done outside revealed a well-defined oval heterogeneous T2 hyperintense and T1 hypointense intradural extramedullary mass lesion extending from upper border of C5 to lower border of D1 spinal level.

Spinal schwannomas are benign tumors arising from spinal nerve root sheaths and are the most common intradural extramedullary spinal tumors.

Schwannomas are mostly solid or heterogeneous solid tumors. Cystic schwannomas are rare lesions. We present a 27-year-old woman with an intradural extramedullary cystic tumor in the lower thoracic region who complained of back pain and walking difficult...
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 ...
