Intrasacral perineurial cyst. 1985

I Nishiura, and T Koyama, and J Handa

A rare case of intrasacral perineurial cyst is presented. Findings on metrizamide myelography and computed tomography scan are described, and their usefulness in the diagnosis of this rare condition is emphasized. The literature is reviewed, and the clinical and pathological features of the 17 reported cases including our own are summarized. Indication for operation and surgical approach are briefly discussed.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007796	Laminectomy	A surgical procedure that entails removing all (laminectomy) or part (laminotomy) of selected vertebral lamina to relieve pressure on the SPINAL CORD and/or SPINAL NERVE ROOTS. Vertebral lamina is the thin flattened posterior wall of vertebral arch that forms the vertebral foramen through which pass the spinal cord and nerve roots.	Laminotomy,Laminectomies,Laminotomies
D008793	Metrizamide	A solute for density gradient centrifugation offering higher maximum solution density without the problems of increased viscosity. It is also used as a resorbable, non-ionic contrast medium.	Amipak,Amipaque
D009192	Myelography	X-ray visualization of the spinal cord following injection of contrast medium into the spinal arachnoid space.	Cisternography, Myelographic,Myelographic Cisternography,Cisternographies, Myelographic,Myelographic Cisternographies,Myelographies
D003560	Cysts	Any fluid-filled closed cavity or sac that is lined by an EPITHELIUM. Cysts can be of normal, abnormal, non-neoplastic, or neoplastic tissues.	Cyst

D006801	Humans	Members of the species Homo sapiens.	Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D000328	Adult	A person having attained full growth or maturity. Adults are of 19 through 44 years of age. For a person between 19 and 24 years of age, YOUNG ADULT is available.	Adults

D013122	Spinal Diseases	Diseases involving the SPINE.	Disease, Spinal,Diseases, Spinal,Spinal Disease
D013126	Spinal Nerve Roots	Paired bundles of NERVE FIBERS entering and leaving the SPINAL CORD at each segment. The dorsal and ventral nerve roots join to form the mixed segmental spinal nerves. The dorsal roots are generally afferent, formed by the central projections of the spinal (dorsal root) ganglia sensory cells, and the ventral roots are efferent, comprising the axons of spinal motor and PREGANGLIONIC AUTONOMIC FIBERS.
