[Pre-sacral epidermoid cyst communicating with spinal CSF cavity (author's transl)]. 1979

S Nakamura, and T Katagiri, and A Majima, and K Wakamatsu, and T Tsubokawa, and N Moriyasu

A 6-year-old girl was transfered to our hospital because of continuing pleocytosis, and detection of the squamous cells and cholesterin crystals in the CSF. Neurological examination on admission revealed no remarkable disorders, except for weakness of anal sphincter. X-ray examination of the spine showed a deformity of the sacral vertebra. Myelography revealed a pre-sacral cystic tumor, which was connected with spinal CSF cavity at cul-de-sac of the spinal canal by a narrow fistula. The tumor was totally removed and no meningitic sign appeared in postoperative course. Histological examination diagnosed it as a typical epidermoid tumor. Attention should be payed to the location, size, structure and clinical course in this particular case.

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.
