LESIONS OF THE SPINAL EPIDURAL SPACE PRODUCING CORD COMPRESSION

摘要: The pathologic changes of tumors occurring in the epidural space spinal intravertebral canal have received less attention than intradural tumors. We have, therefore, reviewed extradural compressive lesions encountered a ten year period (1934-1944) material Laboratory Neurosurgical Pathology Hospital University Pennsylvania. These formed series 54 cases and comprised roughly 30 per cent total number mass canal. is entirely surgical, all patients having undergone laminectomy for relief cord compression. Symptoms involvement were primary complaint, even though lesion was subsequently found to extend beyond intervertebral canal, originate at distance or be part systemic disease. has been carefully correlated with clinical course.
