Comparison of the incidence of the various types of spinal tumors in infancy and childhood to other age groups reveals significant differences, similar to the brain tumors. Compared with intramedullary tumors in adult patients (16%), the incidence of intramedul1ary bIastomas is higher in children and young adults (1-16 years) (25%). Intramedullary tumors become prevalently manifest as gliomas (...

Cavernous hemangiomas (CHs) can be found in all intracranial structures, especially the brain parenchyma. Most spinal are of vertebral origin. Spinal cavernous that do not hold vertebrae called "pure" types. Pure epidural (SECHs) very rare and account for approximately 4% lesions. Here is a case pure thoracic SECH detected 42-year-old female patient with progressive paraparesis sensory loss bel...

STUDY DESIGN A retrospective study. PURPOSE To clarify the features useful for the differential diagnosis of spinal canal tumoral lesions in patients undergoing hemodialysis. OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE Tumoral lesions in the spinal canal are rarely found in hemodialysis patients. Therefore, the differential diagnosis of tumoral lesions in the spinal canal in hemodialysis patients has been very ...

Clinical and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings, histological appearances and surgical outcomes of 18 dogs and one cat with spinal tumors are presented. Medical records of the cases admitted for spinal disorders were reviewed, and cases of spinal tumors that were diagnosed by MRI and confirmed by histological examination were included in this study. T1 weighted, T2 weighted and contrast ...

ependymomas are glial tumors originate from ependymal cells lining the ventricles and the central canal of the spinal cord. two thirds of ependymomas arise in the infratentorial or intraventriclesandone-third aredetected in supratentorial area. however supratentorial “cortical” ependymomas are veryuncommon. ependymomas are usually infratentorial, intraventricular tumor, including 2–9% of all ce...
