Symptomatic Postsurgical Traumatic Neuromas

Symptomatic thoracic spinal cord compression caused by postsurgical pseudomeningocele.

We report the first case of symptomatic thoracic spinal cord compression caused by postsurgical pseudomeningocele. A 49-year-old man sought treatment for progressive loss of strength in the lower extremities ten months after full neurological recovery for a thoracic (T11) intradural-extramedullary schwannoma. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a postsurgical thoracic (T11-T12) pseudomeningocel...

Acoustic Neuromas.

Patients with acoustic neuromas have several treatment options that include observation, surgical resection, stereotactic radiosurgery, and fractionated radiotherapy. Resection is indicated for patients with larger tumors that have caused major neurologic deficits from brain compression. Surgeons perform stereotactic radiosurgery as the main alternative to acoustic tumor resection with the goal...

Bilateral 'acoustic' neuromas.

Cystic acoustic neuromas.

Predominantly cystic acoustic neuromas are rare and they usually present with clinical and radiological features different from their more common solid counterparts. Two cases of cystic acoustic neuromas are reported here.
