Impact of the Extent of Surgical Resection on Patients With Intradural Extramedullary Bronchogenic Cysts: A Retrospective Institutional Experience and Review of the Literature.

ABSTRACT: Intradural extramedullary bronchogenic cysts (IEBC) are rare congenital cystic lesions. The clinical manifestations, radiological characteristics, especially the optimal treatment regimen are not well-understood. We retrospectively analyzed a series of patients with confirmed IEBC in Tangdu hospital and reviewed the published works to gain a comprehensive understanding of IEBC. In our institution, nine consecutive patients had pathologically confirmed IEBC between 2005 and 2018. We also identified 27 patients from previous studies. The most common presentations on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were hypointensity on T1-weighted images (T1WI), hyperintensity on T2-weighted images(T2WI), and no improvement on T1WI contrast-enhanced with gadolinium (94.4%). All patients in our center and the patients we reviewed received surgical resection; gross total resection (GTR) and partial resection (PR) were achieved in 20 (55.6%) and 16 (44.4%) patients, respectively. The symptom remission rate of patients who underwent GTR was 100%, which was similar to those who underwent PR (93.8%) (P = 0.457). The recurrence rate was 12.5% in the group who underwent PR and nil after GTR (P = 0.202). According to our current investigation, the surgical resection degree is irrelevant to the symptom remission rate. Therefore, we suggest that total resection should not be recommended for cases with tight adhesion. For patients with PR, longer follow-up will be necessary to determine the long-term outcome.

Subdiaphragmatic bronchogenic cysts: Case series and literature review.

Project description:Bronchogenic cysts are congenital malformations caused by aberrant foregut budding. They major occur in the thorax, with subdiaphragmatic cases being uncommon. Here, we present a series of 19 patients diagnosed with subdiaphragmatic bronchogenic cysts histopathologically at a single institution in China from 2012 to 2021. A literature review was also conducted by searching the PubMed database using keywords related to "bronchogenic cysts" and "subdiaphragmatic," yielding 107 cases. Taken together, the 126 cases had a median age of 41.0 years (interquartile range, 30.0-51.0 years) and 62 of them were male (49.2%). The cysts were most commonly detected in the left adrenal region (36.2%), followed by the pancreatic region (11.5%) and gastric cardia/lesser curvature of the stomach (9.2%). All patients except two underwent surgery for a definite diagnosis, symptom alleviation, and (or) malignancy prevention. Most patients recovered fast and were discharged from the hospital within 1 week after surgery, and the surgical complications were infrequent. The prognosis was generally favorable, as no recurrence was reported during the follow-up as long as 77 months.

Intradural extramedullary metastasis: a review of literature and case report.

Project description:Introduction:Intradural extramedullary (IDEM) metastatic disease is infrequently encountered by spine surgeons and consequently poorly understood. Discovery often corresponds with the onset of neurologic symptoms and no consensus exists regarding the importance of complete resection or anticipated postoperative outcome. We aim to elucidate treatment methodologies that exist in the literature. Case presentation:We present a unique case of a 57-year-old male with a known history of esophageal adenocarcinoma, including brain and visceral metastases, who presented with cauda equina syndrome. An IDEM metastatic esophageal adenocarcinoma lesion was identified on advanced imaging and biopsy. This was treated operatively without return of neurologic function. Discussion:We reviewed and summarized the existing literature. Trends are highlighted to further guide surgeons treating this unusual metastatic phenomenon. Conclusion:Intradural metastasis is a harbinger of advanced disease with a poor prognosis regardless of the etiology of the primary lesion. There are a number of proposed mechanisms for metastatic spread with little available literature for surgeon guidance. Most authors are advocates of a palliative, decompressive approach.

Primary intradural extramedullary spinal mesenchymal chondrosarcoma: case report and literature review.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Mesenchymal chondrosarcoma (MCS) is a rare malignant variant of chondrosarcoma with a high tendency of recurrence and metastasis. Intradural extramedullary spinal MCS is exceedingly rare and usually found in pediatric patients. Herein, we present an elderly patient with primary intradural extramedullary spinal MCS. Relevant literatures are reviewed to disclose characteristics of intradural extramedullary spinal MCS. CASE PRESENTATION:A 64-year-old female presented with urinary difficulty and tightness of upper back preceding progressive weakness of right lower extremity. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed an intradural extramedullary tumor at the level of 3rd thoracic vertebra. This patient underwent total tumor resection and then received adjuvant radiotherapy. Histopathological examination showed that the tumor composed of spindle and round cells with high nucleocytoplasmic ratio accompanied by scattered eosinophilic chondroid matrix. Along with immunohistochemical findings and the existence of HEY1-NCOA2 fusion transcript, the diagnosis of MCS was confirmed. Neurologic deficit recovered nearly completely after surgery. No evidence of local recurrence or distant metastasis was found 5?years after treatments. Including the current case, a total of 18 cases have been reported in the literature with only one case with local recurrence and one case of mortality. The current case was the eldest patient diagnosed with primary intraspinal MCS in the literature. CONCLUSIONS:MCS rarely appears in the intradural space of the spine. In contrast to classic MCS, treatment outcome of primary intradural extramedullary spinal MCS is usually excellent as total tumor resection is commonly achievable. Adjuvant radiotherapy may reduce local recurrence and chemotherapy may be associated with fewer recurrences especially for unresectable tumors.

Intradural Extramedullary Nerve Sheath Myxoma of the Cervical Spine: A Case Report and Review of Literature.

Project description:Background: Nerve sheath myxoma is a rare benign soft tissue tumor. Intraspinal nerve sheath myxomas are rare. Only 8 cases of intraspinal nerve sheath myxoma have been reported to date, and no case of nerve sheath myxoma has been reported in the cervical spinal canal. Herein, we reported the first case of intradural extramedullary nerve sheath myxoma in the cervical spinal canal of a 57-year-old man, including its complete clinical course and radiological findings. Case Presentation: A 57-year-old male patient presented with numbness in his left finger without any obvious inducement for 3 years. CT and contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the spine were performed. Based on the radiological examinations, a diagnosis of schwannoma was initially made. However, nerve sheath myxoma was finally confirmed by histopathological and immunohistochemical examinations. Complete tumor excision at the C1-2 level was performed. Then, the patient recovered well, and the numbness of his left finger disappeared during the later follow-up after the surgery. Conclusion: Nerve sheath myxoma should receive diagnostic consideration for an extramedullary subdural lesion that is a clear boundary mass characterized by isointensity on T1-weighted images, heterogeneous intensity on T2-weighted images, obvious peripheral enhancement, and a growing tendency toward the intervertebral foramen.

Vagus nerve stimulation lead removal or replacement: surgical technique, institutional experience, and literature overview.

Project description:With the growing use of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) as a treatment for refractory epilepsy, there is a growing demand for complete removal or replacement of the VNS system. We evaluate the safety and efficacy of complete removal or replacement of the VNS system and provide an extensive description of our surgical technique.We retrospectively reviewed our patient registry for all VNS surgeries performed between January 2007 (the year of our first complete removal) and May 2014. In order to assess patient satisfaction, a written questionnaire was sent to patients or their caregivers. Additionally, we reviewed all literature on this topic.The VNS system was completely removed in 22 patients and completely replaced in 13 patients. There were no incomplete removals. Revision surgery was complicated by a small laceration of the jugular vein in two patients and by vocal cord paralysis in one patient. Seizure frequency was unaltered or improved after revision surgery. Electrode-related side effects all improved after revision surgery. Twenty-one studies reported a total of 131 patients in whom the VNS system was completely removed. In 95 patients, the system was subsequently replaced. The most frequently reported side effect was vocal cord paresis, which occurred in four patients.Complete removal or replacement of the VNS system including lead and coils is feasible and safe. Although initial results seem promising, further research and longer follow-up are needed to assess whether lead replacement may affect VNS effectiveness.

Functional outcome in intradural extramedullary tumor patients: Case series.

Project description:IntroductionIntradural extramedullary (IDEM) spinal cord tumors account two thirds of all intraspinal tumors. These tumors produce pain syndromes, a variety of neurological symptoms-motor, sensory, sphincter or a combination of thereof. Preferred treatment is microsurgical radical resection. The objective of this study was analyzed and discuss about functional outcome in IDEM.Presentation of caseWe present serial case of 15 patients, that consist of 8 males and 7 females, with the mean age of 43,4 years old, ranging from 16 to 82 years old. The outcomes were followed up with Karnofsky Score and Tomita to analyzed metastasis of the tumor. The mean of Karnofsky score in this study was 74 with no patient had metastatic intradural tumor, therefore the Tomita score in these patients is incalculable.DiscussionMRI confirmed the location and extent of the tumor for definitive diagnosis. We then performed excision of the tumor or decompression of the spinal canal followed by posterior stabilization if needed. Minimal complaint regarding pain and/or numbness were found. Post operation functional outcome of the patient is monitored using Karnofsky score.ConclusionIn all except one patient, the functional outcome of the patients is greater than 50 based on Karnofsky score. In this case series, the good functional outcome is due to all tumor were primary tumor which originate from the spine. Furthermore, all tumor had benign characteristic based on the anatomical pathology result. In consequence, gross total resection can be achieved thus resulting a good overall functional outcome of the patients.

Spinal cord compression caused by idiopathic intradural arachnoid cysts of the spine: review of the literature and illustrated case.

Project description:Intradural spinal arachnoid cysts with cord compression are rare. When becoming symptomatic they cause variable symptoms involving gait disturbance, paraparesis or tetraparesis and neuropathic pain, decreasing significantly the patients' life quality. The extension of such cysts averages 3.7 vertebral bodies. The diagnosis is clinical and radiological with the use of MRI, CT myelography or a combination of both. The best treatment option is complete removal of the cyst. However, even when paresis is regressing there is no good recovery from neuropathic pain. Laminectomy approach can cause postoperative complications especially when the cyst(s) expand(s) in more than one level. Alternatively, a cyst fenestration can be performed, including the levels of the maximal spinal cord compression. The clinical outcome is as good as after the cyst resection enabling the patient to walk again. The neuropathic pain may persist and require medication. A clinical case is presented, and the literature is reviewed. In the present case we report a patient with intradural arachnoid cysts extending from T6 to L2 and causing severe gait ataxia as well as neuropathic pain and hypaesthesia. The spinal-cord was compressed at T8 and T12. Surgical treatment with partial cyst resection in the compressed levels with an interlaminar approach brought similar results as complete resection. The patient was able to walk without help which was not possible before surgery. The cysts' extension is impressive as well as the minimal operative procedure.

Differentiating spinal intradural-extramedullary schwannoma from meningioma using MRI T2 weighted images.

Project description:OBJECTIVE::Prior studies advocate the subjective visual differences between meningioma and schwannoma on T2 weighted images, however objective measurement of signal intensity differences may be useful in certain cases. The aim of this study was to investigate whether an objective evaluation of SIs on T2 weighted images would be useful to differentiate spinal schwannomas from meningiomas. METHODS::The patients with spinal MRIs demonstrating path proven and subsequently treated intradural extramedullary spinal tumors were selected between April 2008 and May 2017. Regions of interest (ROIs) were measured in the tumor and subcutaneous fat on the same image, and we calculated the SI ratio between tumor and fat ROIs. RESULTS::Twenty patients each with meningioma and schwannoma were enrolled. The SI ratios of schwannomas were significantly higher than those of meningiomas (both researcher 1 and 2: p = 0.002). The areas under the curve by researchers 1 and 2 were 0.780. The cutoff value of SI ratio by both of researchers 1 and 2 to differentiate between schwannomas from meningiomas was 0.420 (sensitivity: 80.0%, specificity: 70.0-75.0%). CONCLUSION::The SI ratio, calculated from the SIs of the tumor and fat on T2 weighted images, is useful for differentiating spinal schwannomas from meningiomas to obtain an accurate diagnosis. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE::Signal intensity ratio of the spinal tumor and fat on T2 weighted images is useful for differentiating schwannomas from meningiomas to obtain an accurate diagnosis.

Evaluating Surgical Resection Extent and Adjuvant Therapy in the Management of Gliosarcoma.

Project description:Introduction: Gliosarcomas are clinically aggressive tumors, histologically distinct from glioblastoma. Data regarding the impact of extent of resection and post-operative adjuvant therapy on gliosarcoma outcomes are limited. Methods: Patients with histologically confirmed gliosarcoma diagnosed between 1999 and 2019 were identified. Clinical, molecular, and radiographic data were assembled based on historical records. Comparisons of categorical variables used Pearson's Chi-square and Fisher's exact test while continuous values were compared using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Survival comparisons were assessed using Kaplan-Meier statistics and Cox regressions. Results: Seventy-one gliosarcoma patients were identified. Secondary gliosarcoma was not associated with worse survival when compared to recurrent primary gliosarcoma (median survival 9.8 [3.8 to 21.0] months vs. 7.6 [1.0 to 35.7], p = 0.7493). On multivariable analysis, receipt of temozolomide (HR = 0.02, 95% CI 0.001-0.21) and achievement of gross total resection (GTR; HR = 0.13, 95% CI 0.02-0.77) were independently prognostic for improved progression-free survival (PFS) while only receipt of temozolomide was independently associated with extended overall survival (OS) (HR = 0.03, 95% CI 0.001-0.89). In patients receiving surgical resection followed by radiotherapy and concomitant temozolomide, achievement of GTR was significantly associated with improved PFS (median 32.97 [7.1-79.6] months vs. 5.45 [1.8-26.3], p = 0.0092) and OS (median 56.73 months [7.8-104.5] vs. 14.83 [3.8 to 29.1], p = 0.0252). Conclusion: Multimodal therapy is associated with improved survival in gliosarcoma. Even in patients receiving aggressive post-operative multimodal management, total surgical removal of macroscopic disease remains important for optimal outcomes.
