The authors describe the case of a 48-year-old man found to have the first reported intramedullary spinal cord spindle cell hemangioma. Previous research indicates that spindle cell hemangiomas are rarely found in the spine. Only 3 previous cases exist, all in the intradural, extramedullary space. In the present case, gross-total resection of the tumor was possible with no loss of function from...

Background: Cervical myelopathy is commonly seen in the older population caused by a degenerative process, but rare case, it can be pediatric due to uncommon causes, such as an intraspinal cyst. This case report aims discuss of cervical endodermal cyst two-year-old child.Case Presentation: A 2-year-old child with limited neck movement and abnormal body posture from 6 months before admission hos...

Metastases to the spine resulting in spinal neuropathy occur commonly _ The vast majority involve the vertebrae and the epidural spaces. Intradural metastases, either extraor intra-medullary arising from a primary lesion outside of the central nervous system are seldom encountered. Another rare form of metastatic disease to the spinal central nervous system is leptomeningeal carcinomatosis. Thi...

There are few cases of giant pediatric intraspinal teratoma. We report a case of a 4-month-old female baby with giant intraspinal teratoma. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the spine revealed a large intradural tumor from the C7 to S2 level, with solid, cystic, and fatty components. Partial surgical removal of the tumor showed pathology of a mature cystic teratoma. The imaging diagnosis of i...

BACKGROUND Metastasis of one cancer to another is rare. Here, we report a spinal meningioma that was infiltrated by metastatic deposits from another cancer. CASE DESCRIPTION A 62-year-old male presented with a progressive spastic paraparesis. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the spine suggested a well-defined intradural extramedullary (IDEM) T8 mass in the dorsal spinal canal. When excised,...

The correlation between hydrocephalus and spinal cord tumor was first described by Kyrieleis et. al. 1% concomitant presence documented Mirroni et.al. Moreover, the understanding of pathophysiological association these two conditions is still lacking. 11 years old girl presented in outpatient department Jinnah hospital Lahore with complaints difficulty walking for last 2 years, numbness right l...

The transoral approach is a direct route to the clivus. However, application of this approach is infrequent because of the risk of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) fistula and subsequent meningitis. We report a case of clival metastatic tumor treated by staged operation without CSF leakage. A 39-year-old man was found to have a tumor in clivus extending to the intradural space. Two-staged resection th...

A one-stage anterior approach was performed in four patients for total removal of dumbbell type neurinoma at the cervical level. In each case, the neurinoma compressed the spinal cord in the cervical canal, developed anteriorly through the intervertebral foramen, and compressed the vertebral artery. A conventional cervical anterior approach at the tumor site was performed, followed by confirmat...
