Capillary hemangiomas are common benign vascular tumors on skin and soft tissues, but developing as an intradural and extramedullary (IDEM) tumor in spine is extremely rare. In this report, we present IDEM tumor compressing thoracic cord in T2-3 level with extensive arachnoiditis below the tumor level in a 60-year-old man. The lesion was removed and histological diagnosis was capillary hemangio...

Background and Importance: Intradural lumbar disc herniation is a rare and uncommon presentation of lumbar disc herniation. It signifies a challenge for diagnostic and therapeutic scheme, and is associated with a greater incidence of cauda equina syndrome at presentation. Case Presentation: We describe two cases of intradural disc herniation who underwent surgery in Senegal review literat...

Epidermoid cysts have a benign etiology and can be either congenital, usually associated with malformations, or acquired, related to external events, even iatrogenic. As for their location, they are classified as extradural, intradural, extramedullary, intramedullary. Intradural intramedullary epidermoid quite uncommon, few cases reported in literature so far. Because of its slow growth, there ...

Intradural lumbar disk herniation is an uncommon occurrence in the natural course and clinical spectrum of lumbar disk disease. The reported cases suggest an incidence of 0.13%. This case report presents some of the commonly occurring clinical and radiographic findings in intradural lumbar disk herniation, including those of CT. It also demonstrates the importance of metrizamide-enhanced CT in ...

An intradural tumor in the upper cervical region was found in a dog with quadriparesis and chronic respiratory acidosis. Surgical removal of the tumor in the atlas and intraoperative radiotherapy were attempted. The tumor was histologically diagnosed as a neural glioma. A preoperative acid-base disturbance was dramatically improved after surgery. The clinical changes appeared in this case sugge...

Meningiomas of the spine are the most common benign intradural extramedullary lesions and account for 25%-46% of all spinal cord tumors in adults. The goal of treatment is complete surgical resection while preserving spinal stability. Usually, these lesions occur in the thoracic region and in middle-aged women. Clinical presentation is usually nonspecific and the symptoms could precede the diag...
