Mediastinal Widening

A 23 year old female presented with acute onset paraparesis. She denied any history of fever, weight loss or drenching night sweats. Neither did she have any obvious lymphadenopathy on general examination. Chest Xray was however suggestive of mediastinal widening and her MRI spine showed metastases with superior mediastinal SOL. Biopsy of this SOL ultimately revealed classical Hodgkin lymphoma. Thus this was a very unusual initial presentation of Hodgkin lymphoma presenting as Epidural Spinal Cord Compression. Hasenclever IPS score was 2. Patient was treated with radiotherapy followed by ABVD chemotherapy and achieved remission in 3months.

Spinal Cord Compression Syndrome

Abstract From December 1981 through August 1984, 24 patients with spinal cord compression syndrome due to epidural neoplasms were evaluated for radiotherapy with clinical examination, radiographs of the spine, and myelography. All plain films were reviewed, and mock radiotherapy fields designed using specific criteria for margins. The same patients were reviewed a second time considering the additional information provided by myelography. The initial treatment fields were found to be inadequate in 69% of the patients. Even in patients with discrete bony lesions, the results of myelography affected the treatment 45% of the time. A history of previous spinal irradiation significantly influenced port design in only 1 of the 7 patients who had received previous radiotherapy. Although invasive, myelography is essential in planning the treatment of spinal cord compression.

Organ Systems

A six-year-old, male Doberman pinscher was presented for acute onset of upper motor neuron tetraparesis. An extradural compressive lesion compatible with intervertebral disk rupture at the sixth to seventh cervical (C6-C7) disk space was evident on myelography. A large, gelatinous mass of pure cryptococcal organisms causing spinal cord compression was identified upon exploratory surgery. Removal of the mass caused relief of clinical signs. No evidence of involvement of other organ systems was found; however, serum and cerebrospinal fluid titers were positive for cryptococcal infection. The dog was treated with fluconazole (5.5 mg/kg body weight, per os sid) until serum titers for cryptococcal infection were negative at seven months postsurgery. To the authors' knowledge, this is the only report of a dog with cryptococcosis treated successfully using fluconazole as a sole agent.
