I n the developmental stage of surgery of “spinal tumors,” which term is talreii to include tumors of the spinal column, spinal cord, and associated tissues, neurologists and neurosurgcons were inclined to wait until advanced signs of compression of the cord had developed before instituting operation. However, they soon learned that earlier diagnosis and surgical treatment were necessary if the...

Developments in diagnostic imaging and systemic therapies for oncologic diseases have brought large numbers of spinal tumors to our attention. Following this process, there has been a great evolution in minimally invasive surgical techniques for the spinal surgery. By combining modern medical technology to traditional spinal approaches minimally invasive spinal approaches have been popular.76 S...

Metastatic spinal tumors are usually quite difficult to treat. In patients with metastatic spinal tumors, conventional radiotherapy fails to relieve pain in 20-30% of cases and open surgery often causes considerable trauma and complications, which delays treatment of the primary disease. Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) is considered to be useful in achieving rapid pain control and preventing ...

Introduction: Due to the effect of radiation on both the tumor and the surrounding normal tissues, the side effects of radiation in normal tissues are expected. One of the important complications in the head and neck radiotherapy is the doses reached to the larynx and spinal cord of patients with non-laryngeal head and neck tumors.   Materials and Methods: ...

introduction: thermal ablation by microwave (mwa) has proven efficacy in treatment of primary and metastatic cancers. soft tissue tumors could be ablated completely using mwa. however, bony tissue metastasis particularly spinal vertebral metastasis ablation has not reported yet. case presentation: a 50 year old male patient with primary diagnosed colon cancer undergone surgical resection of tum...

  Clear cell variant of ependymoma is almost exclusively located in the supratentorial region. Only few cases of this tumor that located in the spinal cord have been reported. Here we report one case of intramedullary clear cell ependymoma of the lumbar spinal cord. In microscopic examination, the tumor cells were round to oval with moderate amounts of clear cytoplasm and centrally located lar...

Abstract Type-1 neurofibromatosis (NF1) is a neurocutaneous syndrome classically known as peripheral NF to distinguish it from type-2 (central NF). Its main characteristic the high predisposition growth of multiple tumors, which specially arouses interest spinal surgeons due presence cord compression and deformities. Considering this, we have performed comprehensive review, with illustrative ca...

Spinal schwannomas are benign tumors arising from spinal nerve root sheaths. These are the most common intradural extramedullary spinal tumors. Schwannomas are mostly solid or heterogeneous solid tumors. Cystic schwannomas are rare lesions. We present a 27-year-old woman with an intradural extramedullary cystic tumor in the lower thoracic region who complained of back pain and walking difficult...
