Although ultrasonography during spinal cord surgery has been widely accepted, it still has limitations in clinical application because of the size of the transducers needed and the immersion method. The authors report on newly designed microprobe transducers used to evaluate intramedullary spinal cord lesions and to monitor surgical procedures. This microprobe system permitted the microscopic use of intraoperative ultrasonography without requiring saline immersion.

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.
