Teaching neuroimages: conus medullaris involvement in cerebrospinal toxoplasmosis.
A 41-year-old woman originally from West Africa presented with a 3-week history of generalized weakness. Clinical examination demonstrated quadriparesis, urinary incontinence, and reduced level of consciousness. The imaging of the neuraxis revealed multiple bilateral cerebral lesions, including basal ganglia and midbrain. Spinal cord imaging showed lesions in the conus medullaris (figure). The ...
متن کاملCavernoma of the conus medullaris mimicking transverse myelitis.
We present an interesting case of conus medullaris cavernoma that was initially treated as transverse myelitis. Haemorrhagic lumbar puncture led us to perform magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, which showed the presence of a cavernous angioma at the D12-L1 level. The total excision of the lesion was followed by dramatic improvement. We suggest that MR imaging be performed early in all suspected c...
متن کاملIntramedullary cavernoma with extralesional haemorrhage.
Intramedullary cavernomas are rare lesions constituting 5 to 12% of all intramedullary tumours. They are more recognized after introduction of magnetic resonance imaging and detection rates have improved by advance techniques. They may be solitary or multiple or may have associated cranial lesions. They may present with gradual neurological decline or with acute loss of spinal function. In addi...
متن کاملConus medullaris stroke
Absent F wave in the stage of spinal shock has been described in cases of traumatic spinal cord injury. The role of F wave in predicting prognosis after conus medullaris infarct has not been described. We describe herein a middle aged-man with a conus medullaris infarct. Both tibial and peroneal F waves were absent on day 4. The left tibial F wave reappeared in the following study on day 18. Al...
متن کاملSchwannoma 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.
