Surgical treatment of congenital pseudarthrosis the tibia bones is accompanied by a significant percentage complications and refractions. One main reasons for unsatisfactory results violation quality bone tissue in area pseudoarthrosis, which an obstacle to normal process fusion shin bones. Рurpose - use computed tomography examine density patients with pseudoarthrosis before after surgery. Mat...

Intramedullary lipomas are benign tumours of the spinal cord corresponding to 1% of all primitive intramedullary tumours. We report a rare case of "true" intramedullary lipoma associated with cyst. The patient underwent subtotal resection and the diagnosis was made by histopathological examination. There was postoperative neurological improvement.

conclusions the functional outcome 22 months post injury showed that although primary treatment method uses locked imn in humeral shaft fractures, unlocked imn can be used in appropriate cases. less injury risk to the axillary and radial nerve, short period of surgery, and less radiation can be considered as advantages of this technique. introduction although intramedullary nailing (imn) is use...

Spinal intramedullary lipoma is a rare lesion accounting for 1% of all spinal masses and 2% of intramedullary tumours [1]. These lesions are commonly associated with spinal dysraphism [2]. The usual location of spinal lipoma is in the cervico-thoracic region [3]. Spinal intramedullary lipomas without spinal dysraphism are very rare and present in only 1% of patients [1,2]. Though CO2 laser and ...

Abstract Aim The use of intramedullary nail fixation remains the operation choice for managing unstable and displaced tibia diaphyseal fractures. literature shows that although commonly performed, there is not a standard approach when performing nailing tibia; it could be hypothesised this lack standardisation may contributing to noted complications. This systematic review will look into in all...

Neurofibromas are occasionally present in spinal roots; however, an intramedullary neurofibroma is especially rare. Although a few cases of intramedullary neurofibromas in cervical spinal cord have been reported, to the best of our knowledge, there are no reports of intramedullary neurofibromas in thoracic spinal cord, and moreover, no reports have clearly reported immunohistochemical findings....

Intramedullary spinal cord metastases are very rare. Patients with breast cancer as the primary source of intramedullary spinal cord metastases tend to do better than other types of cancer. We report the very unusual case of a woman with breast cancer who had two separate episodes of intramedullary spinal cord metastasis.

Tuberculosis of the central nervous system accounts for approximately 1% of all cases of tuberculosis and 50% of these involve the spine. Intramedullary involvement is rare in tuberculosis. Clinical presentation of spinal intramedullary tuberculosis (SIMT) is similar to intramedullary spinal cord tumor. Here, we report the case of a 49-year-old female with dull aching pain of both upper limbs o...

The first successful resection of an intradural tumor, a fibro-myxoma, was accomplished in 1887 by Victor Horsley, and the first successful resection of an intramedullary spinal cord tumor was performed in 1907 by Anton von Eiselsberg in Austria. However, the first report of an intramedullary tumor appeared in 1911 by Charles Elsberg in New York. Elsberg described a two-stage strategy for the r...

BACKGROUND Paraplegia associated with epidural anesthesia or caused by intramedullary spinal tuberculoma is rare but catastrophic. We present a case of paraplegia following epidural anesthesia in a patient with an undiagnosed intramedullary spinal tuberculoma. CASE PRESENTATION A 42-year-old man developed paraplegia after an open cholecystectomy under epidural anesthesia. Spinal cord infarcti...
