[Subarachnoid haemorrhage from an ependymoma of the filum terminale. (author's transl)]. 1976

D Gambacorta

The case of a patient suffering from acute lumbosciatic pain, flaccid paraplegia, bladder retention and subarachnoid hemorrage, is reported. The patient underwent operation for a large ependymoma of the filum terminale. The author underlines the rare association of a spinal cord tumour and subarachnoid hemorrage and the opportunity of a routine mielo-radiculographic examination in case of lumbo-sciatic pain requiring surgical intervention: the patient, in fact, had been operated for "lumbar disc prolapse", in an orthopaedic department, four years before.

D004806 Ependymoma Glioma derived from EPENDYMOGLIAL CELLS that tend to present as malignant intracranial tumors in children and as benign intraspinal neoplasms in adults. It may arise from any level of the ventricular system or central canal of the spinal cord. Intracranial ependymomas most frequently originate in the FOURTH VENTRICLE and histologically are densely cellular tumors which may contain ependymal tubules and perivascular pseudorosettes. Spinal ependymomas are usually benign papillary or myxopapillary tumors.

D013120 Spinal Cord Neoplasms Benign and malignant neoplasms which occur within the substance of the spinal cord (intramedullary neoplasms) or in the space between the dura and spinal cord (intradural extramedullary neoplasms). The majority of intramedullary spinal tumors are primary CNS neoplasms including ASTROCYTOMA; EPENDYMOMA; and LIPOMA. Intramedullary neoplasms are often associated with SYRINGOMYELIA. The most frequent histologic types of intradural-extramedullary tumors are MENINGIOMA and NEUROFIBROMA.

D013345 Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Bleeding into the intracranial or spinal SUBARACHNOID SPACE, most resulting from INTRACRANIAL ANEURYSM rupture. It can occur after traumatic injuries (SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGE, TRAUMATIC).
