Diffuse Sarcoma of the Cerebral and Spinal Pia Mater
نویسنده
چکیده
Tumors of the soft membranes of the brain and spinal cord, especially those of a diffuse character, are comparatively rare~ and a careflll study of each individual example is of distinct value. The dollowing case was kindly offered me for study by Prof. Ludvig ttektoen, to whom I am indebted for much assistance in the preparation of my report. Primary tumor of cerebrum, secondary diffuse sarcoma of the cerebral and spinal pia mater . -W. C., male, aged 11 years, entered the Presbyterian Hospital December 31, 1896, in the service of Dr. A. C. Cotton. Clinical diagn6sis, tubercular meningitis.

Anatomy Surrounding the spinal cord in the bony vertebral column are three membranes. From the immediate overlay of the cord to the periphery, there are the pia mater, the arachnoid mater, and the dura mater [11]. Between the pia and the arachnoid is the space of interest in spinal anesthesia, the subarachnoid space. In this space are the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), spinal nerves, a trabecular n...
متن کاملIntradural spinal lipoma in an experimental swine.

Reports of a supposedly congenital lipoma in the left cerebral hemisphere, of an extradural lipoma that compressed the lumbar spinal cord, and of a similar sacral tumor ...

متن کاملUltrastructural findings in human spinal pia mater in relation to subarachnoid anesthesia.
UNLABELLED We examined ultrastructural details such as the cellular component and membrane thickness of human spinal pia mater with the aim of determining whether fenestrations are present. We hypothesized that pia mater is not a continuous membrane but, instead, that there are fenestrations across the pial cellular membrane. The lumbar dural sac from 7 fresh human cadavers was removed, and sam...

SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Multicenter randomized control trials have shown that decompression with durotomy/duroplasty significantly decreases intracranial pressure (ICP). There is a paucity of evidence re...
