Abstract Background Isolated onset of intracranial hypertension due to spinal cord tumor is rare, thus, easily leading to misdiagnosis and delay in effective treatment. Case presentation Herein, we describe a 45-year-old female patient who manifested isolated symptoms and signs of intracranial hypertension and whose condition was initially diagnosed as idiopathic intracranial hypertension and transverse sinus stenosis. The patient received a stent implantation; however, no improvements were observed. One year later her symptoms exacerbated, and during rehospitalization a spinal imaging examination revealed a lumbar tumor. Pathologic evaluation confirmed schwannoma, and tumor resection significantly improved her symptoms, except for poor vision. Conclusions Space-occupying lesions of the spine should be considered in the differential diagnosis of idiopathic intracranial hypertension, even in the absence of spine-localized signs or symptoms.

Object The aim of this study was to provide evidence for the effect of intrathecal morphine application after spinal cord tumor resection. Methods Twenty patients participated in a prospective open proof-of-concept study. During dural closure, morphine (7 μg/kg) was injected into the subarachnoid space. All patients were monitored in an intensive care setting postoperatively. Pain, additional opioids given, and vital parameters were recorded. Results Six patients received a mean morphine dose of 365 μg between C-3 and C-7 and 14 patients received a mean dose of 436 μg between T-2 and T-12. In the cervical and thoracic groups, the mean Numeric Rating Scale score was highest upon intensive care unit admission (1.2 and 2.5, respectively) and declined at 12 hours (0.5 and 0.8, respectively). Minimal extra morphine was required. Minor side effects occurred without consequence. Conclusions Intrathecal morphine for postoperative analgesia after resection of cervical and thoracic spinal cord tumors is effective and safe. These preliminary results require confirmation by larger comparative studies and further clinical experience.

Intramedullary Spinal Cord Tumor

The authors present a case of a 27-year-old patient who presented with spastic gait and worsening difficulty walking over a 6 month period. Spinal MR imaging revealed a heterogeneously enhancing intramedullary spinal cord tumor (IMSCT) with associated syrinx in the cervical spine. The lesion was resected through posterior en bloc laminotomy, durotomy, and microscopic resection of the intramedullary component followed by laminoplasty reconstruction. Surgical resections with a goal of gross total resection can significantly improve overall survival and progression free survival in patients with low-grade IMSCT. The procedure is presented in an edited, high-definition format with accompanying narrative. The video can be found here: http://youtu.be/Ui9bn82PtP8.
