[Differential diagnosis of spinal processes using modern diagnostic procedures]. 1987

J Willeit, and F Aichner, and P Pohl, and E Rumpl, and U Mayr, and F Gerstenbrand

Modern diagnostic management of diseases of the spinal cord is discussed, illustrated by some exemplary cases and reviewed by the literature. Special attention is directed to high resolution tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, analysis of the cerebrospinal fluid and electrophysiological methods. It seems conceivable that a shift from invasive methods to noninvasive procedures (e.g. magnetic resonance imaging) may occur.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009103 Multiple Sclerosis An autoimmune disorder mainly affecting young adults and characterized by destruction of myelin in the central nervous system. Pathologic findings include multiple sharply demarcated areas of demyelination throughout the white matter of the central nervous system. Clinical manifestations include visual loss, extra-ocular movement disorders, paresthesias, loss of sensation, weakness, dysarthria, spasticity, ataxia, and bladder dysfunction. The usual pattern is one of recurrent attacks followed by partial recovery (see MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, RELAPSING-REMITTING), but acute fulminating and chronic progressive forms (see MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, CHRONIC PROGRESSIVE) also occur.

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.
