Cervical spinal meningioma with unusual MR contrast enhancement.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 16-year-old girl had progressive neck pain and weakness in the left hand. MR images showed a dumbbell-shaped spinal tumor with a prominently enhancing intradural component and a minimally enhancing extradural component. Pathologic examination revealed a meningioma with an intradural transitional component and an extradural syncytial component. The tumor showed no significant cystic change or necrosis.

Gd-DTPA-enhanced MR of suspected spinal multiple sclerosis.
A prospective study was undertaken to evaluate the potential of Gd-DTPA-enhanced MR to differentiate active from inactive demyelinating lesions of the cervical spinal cord. Five patients with elongated high-signal-intensity lesions in the cervical cord on long TR/TE spin-echo MR images and a clinical suspicion of demyelinating disease had MR before and after IV Gd-DTPA. Delayed contrast enhance...
متن کاملCalcified hemangioma of the spinal canal: unusual CT and MR presentation.
With the advent of high-resolution CT, criteria for the diagnosis of intraspinal hemangiomas have been established . These consist of the presence of intracanalicular soft-tissue masses of mild to moderately hyperdense attenuation with variable degrees of contrast enhancement, primarily in association with vertebral hemangioma [1-6]. The presence of calcification in the intraspinal soft-tissue ...
متن کاملAn Unusual Cervical Spinal Meningioma in a Child
The incidence of spinal meningioma is very rare in children. A 14-year-old girl presented with right arm weakness, gait disturbance, and urinary incontinence. Cervical magnetic resonance imaging revealed an intradural extramedullary tumor dorsal to the spinal cord in the level of C1. The tumor was totally removed despite the severe cord compression. Meningotheliomatous meningioma was diagnosed ...
متن کاملUnusual cervical spinal cord toxicity associated with intra-arterial carboplatin, intra-arterial or intravenous etoposide phosphate, and intravenous cyclophosphamide in conjunction with osmotic blood brain-barrier disruption in the vertebral artery.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE When the clinical and radiologic characteristics of an unusual cervical spinal cord complication of intra-arterial (IA) chemotherapy with blood brain-barrier (BBB) disruption in the vertebral circulation are documented. Seven cases are reported and analyzed in search of a pathophysiologic explanation. METHODS We retrospectively identified 94 patients who received a tota...
متن کاملSpinal cord edema with contrast enhancement mimicking intramedullary tumor in patient with cervical myelopathy: A case report and a brief literature review
BACKGROUND Cervical myelopathy (CM) is a clinical diagnosis that may be associated with hyperintense areas on T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. The use of contrast enhancement in such areas to differentiate between neoplastic and degenerative disease has rarely been described. CASE DESCRIPTION We present a 41-year-old female with a 5-month course of progressive CM. The cervic...
