✓ Acute subdural spinal hematoma occurs rarely; however, when it does occur, may have disastrous consequences. The authors assessed the outcome of surgery for this lesion in relation to causative factors and diagnostic imaging (computerized tomography [CT], CT myelography), as well eventual preservation subarachnoid space. reviewed 106 cases nontraumatic acute (101 published five their own) terms cause, diagnosis, treatment, long-term outcome. Fifty-one patients (49%) were men 55 (51%)...
Abstract BACKGROUND: Spinal meningiomas are common spinal tumors, in most cases benign and with a good surgical prognosis. However, specific location, infiltration of cord, vascular encasement, or root involvement can bring less favorable OBJECTIVE: To correlate these data clinical/functional outcome. METHODS: Two hundred twenty-four consecutive patients treated from 1976 to 2013 our institution were analyzed; among these, 51 excluded for incomplete clinical follow-up. The remaining 173...
Arachnoid cysts are relatively common congenital intracranial mass lesions that arise during the development of meninges. They can be complicated by formation an ipsilateral chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) after minor cranial trauma. Treatment these coexisting conditions remains controversial. In this study authors describe anatomical, clinical, and neuroradiological features outcome in a series patients whose CSDH associated with arachnoid were managed surgically draining alone leaving...
The authors report 14 cases of multiple intracranial meningiomas representing 1.1% all operated on at their hospital in the past 35 years. Differentiation meningiomas, especially from meningiomatosis, must be strict. Since introduction computerized tomography scanning, frequency these has risen 0.58% to 4.5% authors' meningioma series. Despite multiplicity sites, do not differ prognosis benign solitary meningiomas.
The authors report their experience and long-term results in the surgical treatment of 61 tentorial meningiomas. These cases were operated on between 1951 1985 represented 4.8% all intracranial meningiomas that period. mean duration clinical history was 29 months, except for meningioma posteromedial border, which it 5 years. Plain x-ray films cerebral angiograms obtained cases. Computerized tomography, performed last 20 (32.7%), supplied much better lesion topography early diagnosis. tumor...
The 22 cases of spinal meningioma with severe motor deficit operated on during a 34-year span are reviewed. is graded according to modified version the scale proposed by Levy et al. in 1982, their grade IV being split into (toe movements and muscular concentrations) V (paraplegia). All 10 patients were able walk normally within year surgical treatment while only 50% (12 cases) recovered, then not completely. preoperative duration age under 60 influenced speed recovery possibility cases. We...
OBJECTIVE: Posttraumatic acute subdural hematoma carries a high postoperative mortality rate. Preservation of subarachnoid spaces in preoperative computed tomographic (CT) scans may be interpreted as favorable prognostic factor. METHODS: Thirty-one cases posttraumatic operated on consecutively, with an interval from trauma to surgery less than 4 hours and Glasgow Coma Scale score 8, were reviewed. The immediate long-term results evaluated reference CT images, distinguishing preserved the...
