Effect of spinal cord stretching due to head flexion on intramedullary pressure.
The effect of the longitudinal stretching force of the spinal cord on intramedullary pressure was investigated using our method for measuring intramedullary pressure of the spinal cord with implanted balloons. The transverse compressive force against the posterior wall of the spinal column was excluded by measuring the intramedullary pressure during flexion of the head with the middle and lower...

and (3) paresis , loss of sensation, and low levels of protein in the CSF are more common. Unenhanced CT examinations can show an intramedullary mass with zones of low density suggestive of a cystic component; if the cord is collapsed , syringomyelia can reliably be assumed to be present. If the cord is not collapsed , which occurs more frequently, it is impossible to differentiate syringomyeli...
متن کاملIntramedullary cystic lesions of the conus medullaris.
Intramedullary cystic lesions of the conus medullaris are rare. Although an extensive literature describes syringomyelia as being a frequent basis for cystic cervico-thoracic lesions it is apparent that this does not occur frequently in the lumbosacral region (Kirgis and Echols, 1949; Netsky, 1953; Rand and Rand, 1960; Love and Olafson, 1966). Poser (1956), in a review of 234 cases of syringomy...
متن کاملCervical Intramedullary Schwannoma: Case Report and Review of the Literature
Cervical intramedullary schwannomas are extraordinarily rare. Gross total resection is the best therapeutic option for these types of tumors. Although rare, intramedullary schwannomas should be considered as a differential diagnosis of intramedullary lesions since a good prognosis can be guaranteed to the majority of these patients. We present a case of a cervical intramedullary schwannoma surg...
متن کاملLarge Cystic Intradural Schwannoma Extending from L2 to S4 Spinal Segments: A Case Report
Schwannoma originates from the sheath of spinal cord roots neurilemma or Schwann cells (so it is mainly called neurilemmoma or Schwannoma) and makes one third of primary spinal cord tumours [1-6]. The tumour localization is in various parts of spinal cord, but prevailsin cervical and thoracic, rare in lumbar and sacral regions [1-7]. It can grow exophytic above and below the dura of spinal cord...
