Multicentric intradural extramedullary ependymoma: Report of a rare case

The intraspinal enterogenous cyst, also called an neurenteric cyst, is a rare congenital disease. It was reported to be local to the C1 to L2 spinal segments, with the majority located in the cervicothoracic region. Most patients present with symptoms of progressive focal pain, myelopathic signs or radicular symptoms. We report a rare case of thoracic spinal intradural extramedullary enterogenous cyst with rapidly progressive weakness of both lower extremities. Additionally, we analysed the literature concerning the clinical features, diagnosis and prognosis of this disease.

Intradural Extramedullary

Schwannomas are the most common intradural-extramedullary spinal tumors, with an estimated incidence of 3 to 10 cases per 100,000 people. With continued advances in minimally invasive surgery (MIS) over recent years, MIS techniques have been utilized by spine surgeons in the resection of intradural spinal neoplasms with favorable surgical results and clinical outcomes. This video demonstrates a rare case of symptomatic, synchronous, same-level lumbar intradural-extramedullary neoplasm and acute disc herniation, both of which were successfully treated using a single MIS approach. Surgical pearls and nuances are discussed to better delineate technique and minimize potential complications.The video can be found here: http://youtu.be/78ibbicBRUk.

The authors present a rare case of intradural extramedullary spinal chondrosarcoma. This 38-year-old man presented with urinary retention and lower-limb weakness. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a thoracic intradural extramedullary spinal tumor, which was resected. Histopathology revealed a meningeal myxoid chondrosarcoma. Despite adjuvant radiotherapy, the patient had multiple recurrences and metastases and died 18 months following his first surgery. The management of the rare entity of spinal canal chondrosarcoma is discussed.

We report a rare case of multiple meningiomas in a 74 year old female who was brought to the hospital with spastic paraparesis and MRI of spine and brain revealed multiple enhancing meningiomas in brain and spines. The spinal intradural extramedullary (IDEM) meningioma at C7-D1 level was excised which had caused paraparesis and postoperatively patient became symptom free. We will discuss about the incidence, symptomatology, investigations and management of multiple meningiomas in different neuroaxial compartments at the same period of time and will review the literature.

Subdural Abscess

Spinal subdural abscesses (SSA) are very rare disease. The etiologies of SSA are hematogenous spread, iatrogenic contamination, and local extension. Elevated WBC counts, ESR, and C-reactive protein are usually found in laboratory tests. But they are not sensitive indicators of SSA, especially chronic abscesses patient tend to have a less specific characteristic. We report the case of a healthy child with subdural abscess referred to our hospital as an intradural– extramedullary (IDEM) tumor.
