Large Exophytic Chondrosarcoma Of Cervicodorsal Spine Without Spinal Cord Compre
CASE REPORT Large Exophytic Chondrosarcoma of Cervicodorsal Spine withoutspinal cord compression. A Case Report with Review of Literature
http://www.neurologyindia.com/vol45-3/1case004.shtml

Extractions: A case of well differentiated chondrosarcoma arising from the laminae and spinous processes of cervicodorsal spine is reported in a 22-years-old patient. He had presented with a painless progressive mass in the cervicodorsal region, without any neurological deficit. The tumour had a large exophytic growth without any intraspinal component. Radiological appearance of cartilaginous calcification suggested the diagnosis of a cartilaginous tumour. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) from the mass failed to differentiate between a chondroma and a well differentiated chondrosarcoma. The final histopathological diagnosis of the surgically excised tumour was possible only after a detailed radiological and clinicopathological correlation. Total surgical excision of the tumour was followed by radiation therapy. A review of literature is included in view of the rarity of this condition and scarcity of similar reports in the Indian literature.

Extractions: cervical spine Spinal cord tumors are tumors that arise from the tissues of the spinal cord. The term spine tumor refers to tumors that arise from the coverings of the spine including the vertebral bones. Spinal cord tumors are relatively rare, as are most spine tumors other than metastatic tumors. Spinal metastases occur in upwards of 10 percent of patients with cancer. The most common spinal cord tumors (or intramedullary tumors ) are ependymomas, astrocytomas and hemangioblastomas. The next group of spine tumors is known as intradural-extramedullary tumors . These tumors are located within the covering of the spinal cord (the dura) but outside the substance of the spinal cord itself. The most common intradural-extramedullary tumors are meningiomas and neurofibromas. A third group of tumors are the primary bone tumors. These are uncommon and rarely need surgical intervention. Some examples of primary bone tumors are chordomas, osteoblastomas, osteoid osteomas, aneurysmal bone cysts and vertebral hemangiomas. Finally, metastatic tumors are quite commonly seen.

Extractions: Where there is bone involvement with breast cancer, the spinal column is the site most often involved. In addition, up to 5% of cancer patients develop epidural deposits, though some of these are asymptomatic. Spinal cord compression (SCC) occurs in five to ten per cent of metastatic cancer cases ( Presentation Any cancer patient, especially when there is known bone involvement, who presents with sudden onset back pain and leg weakness should be considered at risk for SCC. Treatment is required as an emergency, as paraplegia may develop in hours.

Extractions: Medical Encyclopedia Encyclopedia Disease S -> Spinal cord trauma Spinal cord trauma Alternate Names: Spinal cord compression; Spinal cord injury; Compression of spinal cord Causes and Risks: Damage to the spinal cord affects all nervous function that is controlled at and below the level of the injury, including muscle control (strength) and sensation. More than 30 bones make up the spine. These bones (vertebrae) and the cushions between the vertebrae (discs) allow the back to bend while protecting the spinal cord from injury. Spinal cord trauma is caused by motor vehicle accidents, falls, sports injuries (particularly diving into shallow water), industrial accidents, gunshot wounds, assault, and other injuries. A seemingly minor injury can cause spinal cord trauma if the spine is weakened (such as from rheumatoid arthritis or osteoporosis Direct injury such as cuts can occur to the spinal cord, particularly if the bones or the discs are damaged. Fragments of bone (from fractured vertebrae for example) or fragments of metal (such as from a traffic accident) can transect (cut) or damage the spinal cord. Direct damage can also occur if the spinal cord is pulled, pressed sideways, or compressed. This may occur if the head, neck, or back are twisted abnormally during an accident or injury.

Extractions: DEAR, Inc. FAQs Wobbler's Syndrome in the Doberman Pinscher Wilcock, DVM, Jessica J. 'Wobbler's Syndrome' is the term used to refer to compression of the cervical spinal cord in Doberman Pinschers and Great Danes. This disorder has many names- it also called cervical vertebral instability, cervical vertebral malarticulation/malformation, cervical vertebral stenotic myelopathy, and cervical spondylopathy - which is probably why most of us refer to it simply as 'Wobbler's.' Wobbler's is characterized by progressive neurological dysfunction of all four limbs, usually starting with the hind legs. Common symptoms are an abnormal 'drunken' or 'wobbly' gait, scuffing or dragging of the hind feet, a short, choppy gait of the front legs, neck pain, and holding the head and neck in a flexed (downward) position. Signs may progress to the point where the dog may not be able to walk or get up on its own. Wobbler's usually occurs in older Dobermans (3 to 8 years of age) although it has been reported in dogs less than two. The spinal cord compression occurs in the lower neck, most commonly in vertebrae C5, C6 and C7. Some dogs may have multiple areas where the spinal cord is compressed. The compression of the spinal cord can be caused by many things, the most common being: 1) Congenital malformation and/or malarticulation of the vertebrae- A misshapen vertebra, or one that doesn't align properly with its neighbor can press on the spinal cord.

Extractions: fusion: Introduction Surgical procedure Potential risks and complications Postoperative care In the past, cervical laminectomy (removing the posterior aspects of the spinal canal) to decompress (relieve pressure on) the spinal cord had been the procedure of choice to treat spondylotic myelopathy resulting from cervical arthritis. (See Cervical laminectomy for more information.) However, the majority of the abnormal anatomy producing spinal cord compression is located anteriorly to (in front of) the spinal cord itself. This is only indirectly addressed by a posterior cervical laminectomy. In fact, chronic spinal instability exacerbating the disease process may be caused by cervical laminectomy. In addition, a thick fibrous scar forms at the operative site in the postoperative period, at times replacing the bony compression and reproducing the original symptoms after an extended postoperative period.

Extractions: COMPREHENSIVE SPINE PROGRAM COMPREHENSIVE SPINE DIAGNOSES INDEX What is a spinal epidural abscess? A spinal epidural abscess is an infection localized to the epidural space in the spinal column. The epidural space is between the bony spine and the dura mater. This infection can result in compression of the spinal cord and nerves as they leave the spinal canal. How common is spinal epidural abscess? The incidence of spinal epidural abscess is approximately 0.2 - 1.2 per 10,000 hospital admissions annually. The average age of patients with this condition is 57 years. 65% of patients with spinal epidural abscess have chronic disease associated with compromised immunity. Other associated conditions include diabetes mellitus (32%), IV drug abuse (18%), chronic renal failure (12%), and alcoholism (10%). Where are spinal epidural abscesses located? The thoracic level is the most common site reported (50%), followed by lumbar (35%) then cervical (15%). 82% of the infections are posterior (located toward the back), while 18% are anterior (located toward the front). What are the clinical features of a spinal epidural abscess?

Rasekhi *Departments of Radiology and **Radiotherapy, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, Iran ABSTRACT Extramedullary hematopoiesis is a common occurrence in thalassemia and may rarely cause cord compression. Herein, a case of ß-thalassemia major with lower extrimity weakness and sensory deficit is presented. MRI revealed epidural extramedullary mass compressing the thoracic cord. Fine needle aspiration of the mass was performed under the guide of sonography and pathologic examination was in favor of extramedullary hematopoiesis. The patient received 1600 cGy Co radiation to the thoracic cord in 8 fractions. Three weeks after radiation, there was a complete resolution of the mass with total recovery of neurological deficits. Wherever ß- thalassemia is enedemic, extramedullary hematopoiesis as a cause of cord compression must be kept in mind and radiotherapy is to be considered the modality of choice in the therapeutic management.

and bony structures including vertebrae misaligned from the force of injury, a herniatedintervertebral disc, or a hematoma can cause spinal cord compression.
http://www.spineuniverse.com/displayarticle.php/article1770.html

Extractions: Treatment begins with the emergency medical personnel who make an initial evaluation and immobilize the patient for transport. Immediate medical care within the first 8 hours following injury is critical to the patient's recovery. When injury occurs and for a period of time thereafter, the spinal cord responds by swelling. Treatment starts with steroid drugs such as methylprednisolone. These drugs reduce inflammation in the injured area and help to prevent further damage to cellular membranes that can cause nerve death. Sparing nerves from further damage and death is crucial. Each patient's injury is unique. Some patients require surgery to stabilize the spine, correct a gross misalignment, or to remove tissue causing cord or nerve compression. Spinal stabilization often helps to prevent further damage. Surgery Depending on the circumstances, when surgery is required, it may be performed within 8 hours following injury. Surgery may be considered if the spinal cord is compressed and when the spine requires stabilization. The surgeon decides the procedure that will provide the greatest benefit for the patient.
