Background: The presentation of a thoracic spinal tumor due to high-impact trauma is quite rare and we found no other case reported. Case Description: This is a case report and literature review. A patient presented with severe paraparesis on day 4 after trauma. Thoracic MRI showed an oval image centered to T4-T5 suggestive of hemorrhage. The patient underwent a bilateral T4 and T5 laminectomy and microsurgically assisted intradural exploration. After laminectomy, we found no extradural lesions, so we proceeded to dural opening, after which we found a large extramedullary lesion which was completely removed. Pathology revealed a schwannoma. The patient had a very good recovery after surgery and motor rehabilitation. At 6 months after surgery, inferior limbs muscle strength was completely normal. We found no other case reported. Conclusion: Thoracic spine schwannomas are difficult to early diagnose unless there is a clinical suspicion. Initial presentation as bleeding after trauma was not described before. This presentation should be kept in the differential diagnosis of any patient with an acute neurological deficit without trauma signs on admission imaging.

Abstract Background Endoscopic resection is the treatment of choice for early esophageal cancers. However, resections comprising more than 70–80 % of the circumference are associated with a high risk of stricture formation. Currently, repetitive local injections and/or systemic steroids are given for prevention. Case report We present here the case of a 78-year-old male patient who had a near circumferential endoscopic submucosal dissection for a pT1a mm, L0, V0, R0, G2 esophageal squamous cell cancer. At the end of endoscopic resection, 80 mg of triamcinolone was injected locally. The patient was then treated with oro-dispersible budesonide tablets (2 × 1 mg/day) and nystatin (4 × 100 000 I.E.) for 8 weeks. This treatment resulted in complete healing without any stricture formation and did not result in any complications. Discussion Treatment with orodispersible budesonide tablets could help prevent strictures after large endoscopic resections in the esophagus.

Needle Position

We report a case in which a 34-year-old female with refractory intracranial hypotension headaches due to a spontaneous dural tear was ultimately treated with CT-guided transforaminal epidural placement of a synthetic absorbable sealant (DuraSeal®). The procedure successfully resolved her headaches; however she subsequently developed thoracic neuralgia presumably due to mass effect of the sealant material on the lower thoracic spinal cord and nerve roots. This case report describes the potential for significant spinal cord and nerve root compression as well as the development of chronic neuralgia with the placement of epidural hydrogel and fibrin glue sealants. Careful consideration should be taken into the needle gauge, needle position, injectate volumes, and injection velocity when delivering the sealant to the epidural space. Use of an 18-gauge Tuohy needle with a slow but steady injection pressure, constant patient feedback, and a conservative injectate volume (less than 2 ml per level) may best optimize sealant delivery to minimize the risk of spinal cord compression and neurologic injury.
