Introduction: Intradural spinal cord tumors are uncommon with an incidence of 3 per 100,000 individuals. Multiple reports concerning intraspinal hematomas with neurologic deterioration following spinal needle insertion exist, but few reports have confirmed intraspinal hemorrhages from an undiagnosed lumbar ependymoma after attempted spinal anesthesia. Methods: A 22-year-old male with progressiv...

BACKGROUND Capillary hemangioma is a rare tumor in spinal intradural location. Despite the rarity, early recognition is important because of the risk of hemorrhage. This is a case report of a woman who had capillary hemangioma of cauda equina. CASE DESCRIPTION A 54 -year-old woman presented with a low backache, radiating to the left leg for 2 months. She had left extensor hallucis weakness, s...

A 32-year-old female presented with a rare thoracic intradural anterior epidermoid tumor manifesting as acute onset of paraplegia. The tumor was completely removed through a laminectomy. She achieved a full neurological recovery. This is a very unusual presentation for an epidermoid tumor.

Background Chordomas are rare, locally aggressive neoplasms thought to arise from notochordal remnants in the axial skeleton. Primary intradural chordomas are considered to be extremely rare. In this article a giant intradural petroclival chordoma is presented, and a synthesis of the available literature is performed to measure overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) and to ide...

Introduction: Spinal tumors are rare lesions. The incidence of spinal is about 0.5-2.5 cases per 100,000 population year.1 Thirty percent located intradural. Twenty to thirty intradural schwannoma and neurofibroma.2 Surgery the leading choice for schwannomas neurofibromas that grow progressively or cause neurological deficits.2,3,4 Currently, minimally invasive surgery developing rapidly, inclu...

We report a patient who developed symptomatic pneumocephalus after surgery for a spinal intradural tumor. A 30-yearold man presented with low back pain and leg pain was presented. Magnetic resonance image (MRI) demonstrated an welldemarcated intradural extramedullary tumor at the L3-4. The mass had little adhesion rootlets at its base. So, we achieved en-bloc total resection without any difficu...

Tumors of the central nervous system are common in the pediatric population and constitute the second most prevalent tumor type in children. Within this group, spinal cord tumors are relatively rare and account for 1 to 10% of all pediatric central nervous system tumors. We describe a very rare case of an intradural extramedullary spinal cord tumor with a subcutaneous mass and discuss its clini...
