Tuboovarian Abscess Presenting as Sciatic Pain: Case Report

Abstract The authors report the successful conservative treatment of a tuboovarian abscess in a 25-year old woman who presented with low grade fever and severe right sciatic pain. Computed tomography and ultrasonography corroborated a clinical diagnosis of tuboovarian abscess after an initial diagnosis of epidural abscess had been made. This is the first report of a tuboovarian abscess presenting principally as sciatic pain. The diagnosis and treatment of this lesion are discussed. (Neurosurgery 21: 100-103, 1987)

Radicular Compression

Abstract A case of sciatic pain syndrome is reported. Computed tomography showed evidence of gas in the spinal canal, and at operation a gas-filled pseudocyst was found in the spinal canal, without herniated disc. The cause of this unique case is discussed in relation to the spinal vacuum phenomenon.

Intraventricular Chemotherapy

Abstract A 17-year-old girl presented with signs of increased intracranial pressure. On computed tomography, an enhancing intraaxial lesion in the region of the foramen magnum was demonstrated. Surgical excision was performed. The pathological diagnosis was low grade fibrosarcoma. Her subsequent course was complicated by cerebrospinal fluid seeding, a posterior fossa recurrence, and repeated subarachnoid hemorrhage with cerebral vasospasm. A combination of radiotherapy and intraventricular chemotherapy has left the patient symptom-free 2 years after operation. The intramedullary appearance of fibrosarcoma and the unusual subsequent clinical course are discussed. (Neurosurgery 21:551-553, 1987)
