Lateral approach for anterior thoracic spinal lesions.
A lateral approach, consisting of a modified transversectomy, hemilaminectomy, and adequate transversectomy with costectomy of 7-8 cm, was used to treat four cases of anterior or anterolateral thoracic lesions, including two cases of thoracic disc herniations, one of thoracic meningioma, and one of hypertrophic pachymeningitis. All patients presented with gait disturbance, but recovered well po...
متن کاملCT myelography of calcified thoracic neurilemmoma.
Radiographic demonstration of calcification within spinal canal tumors is rare [1] . The most common lesion of this type showing calcification is a meningioma. Other lesions showing calcification include neurofibromas, hemangioblastomas, neuroblastomas, ganglioneuromas, and herniated thoracic disks. Very rarely is calcification seen within neurilemomas [2, 3] , and, if present, it may be noted ...

متن کاملSpinal subarachnoid hematoma resulting from lumbar myelography.
We describe a rare complication of myelography. A subarachnoid filling defect was apparent on the postmyelographic CT but not on conventional myelography. MR imaging performed later showed a spinal subarachnoid hematoma (SSAH), extending from L3 to L5. Lumbar puncture may rarely be a cause for SSAH and is more common in patients with coagulopathy. Significant back pain, paresis, radiculopathy, ...
