Intradural spinal lipomas are rare, and their origin is unknown. Although the clinical presentation may not be distinctive, the neuroradiographic presentation is. Total excision is usually not possible, although subtotal resection is easily accomplished using an ultrasonic aspirator.

Case report: Intradural-extramedullary cervical spine clear cell meningioma mimicking a schwannoma in a child.

Department of Neurosurgery, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, Sichuan, China.
Clear cell meningioma (CCM) is an exceedingly rare subtype of meningioma, with spinal occurrences being even more uncommon. It predominantly affects children and is characterized by a high recurrence rate and poor prognosis, posing significant challenges for clinical treatment. Currently, gross total resection (GTR) is the best approach to reduce recurrence and improve prognosis in these patients.

Intramedullary spinal cord metastasis (ISCM) is a rare manifestation of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). A 73-year-old man presented with left shoulder pain and left upper extremity weakness for two months. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed intramedullary and intradural extramedullary lesions at the C5 level, compressing the spinal cord from the center of the cord and the left ventral side.

Background: Revision surgery for patients with persistent, recurrent, or progressive syringomyelia following foramen magnum decompression (FMD) for Chiari malformation I-syringomyelia (CM-SM) is not uncommon and presents both strategic and technical challenges.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective study including all patients who underwent revision Cerebellar Tonsillectomy (CTL) for CM-SM between 2003 and 2023. Additionally, we performed uni- and multivariate analyses to identify possible factors contributing to failed CTL outcomes.
Factors Determining Rehabilitation Needs After Intradural Spinal Tumor Surgery: A Prospective Study.
Brain Sci
January 2025
Centre of Medical Sciences, Jan and Jędrzej Śniadeccy University of Science and Technology, 85-796 Bydgoszcz, Poland.
Background/objectives: While most studies on the postoperative condition of patients with spinal cord tumors describe long-term outcomes, data are needed on immediate surgical outcomes demanding rehabilitation to make informed assessments for postoperative planning. The aim of this study was to identify factors predicting function and rehabilitative needs after intradural spinal tumor surgery.
Methods: Eighty-five prospectively recruited patients underwent surgery for intradural intramedullary (ID-IM; = 23) and extramedullary (ID-EM; = 62) tumors.
Syringomyelia with Central Canal Enlargement Caused by Postoperative Inflammation after Surgery for Intradural Lumbar Disc Herniation.

Department of Orthopedic Surgery, NHO Osaka Minami Medical Center, Kawachinagano, Osaka, Japan.
Intradural lumbar disc herniation (ILDH) is a very rare condition, with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage as a postoperative complication. The central canal of the conus medullaris was reported to communicate with the subarachnoid space through a caudal aperture; however, this aperture has never been observed in vivo. Herein, we report a case of L1/2 ILDH with postoperative spinal adhesive arachnoiditis and syringomyelia in which the communication considered to be a caudal aperture was detected.
