Exstrophic bladder and intramedullary teratomas are rare congenital anomalies. To the authors' knowledge, the coexistence of these 2 anomalies has not been reported previously. The authors report on a newborn with thoracal intramedullary teratoma and exstrophic bladder. The possible embryogenetic background also is discussed.

There are few published descriptions of the MRI appearance of canine intracranial or spinal cord ependymoma. In this multicenter, retrospective, secondary analysis, case series study, three veterinary radiologists independently reviewed and recorded imaging characteristics of MRI studies in six dogs with histopathologically confirmed ependymoma (three intracranial and three spinal cord cases). A consensus was reached when there was disagreement on specific features.

A Coexisting Adjacent Intradural and Extradural Spinal Cavernoma: A Rare Case.

Cureus

October 2024

Department of Neurosurgery, Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust, Manchester, GBR.

A 34-year-old female patient, with no comorbidities, presented with complaints of upper back pain across the shoulders, with altered sensation on the left side from trunk to lower limb, which was associated with reduced motor function and an acute symptom of urinary retention. On examination, there was reduced power in the left lower limb, reduced anal tone, a positive Babinski sign bilaterally, and reduced sensation in the perianal region. Serial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans were conducted, where initially an upper thoracic lesion suggestive of an intramedullary cavernoma was found, and nearly a decade later, an adjacent extradural lesion causing cord compression was found incidentally through a surgical procedure.
