This is a retrospective review of the clinical presentation, diagnosis and management of 62 patients with histologically proven intradural conus and cauda equina tumours. In the majority of cases the clinical presentation clearly suggests the need for further investigation. One fifth of the patients had small intramedullary tumours, which presented particular diagnostic difficulty and required ...
The patient is a 42-year-old woman with metastatic primary peritoneal carcinoma and known brain metastases, who subsequently developed cauda equina syndrome after presenting with ataxia, lower extremity weakness, and bowel and bladder incontinence secondary to leptomeningeal metastasis after treatment with neoadjuvant chemotherapy, surgical debulking, and adjuvant chemotherapy. Metastases to th...
We present a case of a 59-year-old man with backache, weakness and numbness of both lower extremities, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a round isolated intradural extramedullary lesion between L3 and L4 of T1 isointensity, T2 mild hyperintensity, which was markedly enhanced with gadolinium while cauda equina nerve was slightly enhanced. L3 laminectomy was performed and the pathological ...
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is an aggressive tumor that frequently occurs in the setting of chronic liver disease and cirrhosis. Herein, we describe a case where a patient presented with acute onset cauda equina syndrome due to an intradural and extramedullary metastatic tumor bleeding from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The patient had lower back pain that had radiated to the bilateral low...
STUDY DESIGN Retrospective, radiological study. PURPOSE To determine the relationship between clinical symptoms and the extent of tumor occupation of the spinal canal by cauda equina schwannoma. OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE Little is known about the relationship between the size of tumors of the cauda equina and the manifestation of clinical symptoms. We analyzed this relationship by estimating t...
I will explore multiple literatures with the aim of finding evi-dence on what exact times patients are undergoing surgery and howit is impacting their wellbeing. I am aiming to develop a relationshipor trend on what influences the patients’ clinical outcome to be themost positive. On a more personal level this topic is very interestingto me as both my father and a friend hav...
Cauda Equina Syndrome Secondary to Leptomeningeal Carcinomatosis of Gastroesophageal Junction Cancer
Leptomeningeal carcinomatosis (LMC) is a diffuse or multifocal malignant infiltration of the pia matter and arachnoid membrane. The most commonly reported cancers associated with LMC are breast, lung, and hematological malignancies. Patients with LMC commonly present with multifocal neurological symptoms. We report a case of LMC secondary to gastroesopha-geal junction cancer present initially w...
INTRODUCTION Schwannoma is a relatively common benign spinal cord and/or cauda equina tumor; however, giant cauda equina schwannoma with extensive scalloping of the lumbar vertebral body is a rare pathology, and the treatment strategy, including the use of surgical procedures, is controversial. In this report, we present a rare case of a giant lumbar schwannoma of the cauda equina with extremel...
The cauda equina is composed of the lumbosacral and the coccygeal nerve roots and the filum terminale. In the embryonic period, discrepancy in development between the termination of the spinal cord and the spinal column results in elongation of the nerve roots as well as the filum terminale in this region. Although the vascular anatomy of the caudal spinal structure shares many common features ...
