Spinal tumor
主要分成以下三類
一. Intramedullary tumors.
二. Intradural extramedullary tumor
三. Extradural tumor
一. Intramedullary tumors.
1.Astrocytoma.
-more in children
-eccentric location in the spinal canal
-ill-defined
-hemorrhage is uncommon
2.Ependymoma
-most common spinal cord tumor, seen both in adult and pediatric population.
- C spine最常見, 其次合併T spine 以及T spine alone
-more well-circumscribed
-syringohydromyelia in 10-50% case
- T1 C+ (Gd): virtually all enhance strongly, somewhat inhomogeneously
3.Hemangioblastoma.
-T1+C: strong-enhancing
|
Modality: MRI (T1 C+)
- “ Histology proven hemangioblastoma of the spine. Note the large flow voids and marked holocord syringomyelia. ”
|
Others are very rare.
二. Intradural extramedullary tumor
1. Meningioma.
- 好發T-spine.
- 中年女性
- T1: iso, T2: hyper, T1+C: vivid enhancement (more homogenous than Schwannoma)
-
- May calcification(due to psammoma body)
2.Neurilemmoma
-also named schwannoma
-May has extradural extension via the neuroforamen, and forming as "dumbbell " shape.
Others are very rare.
- T1: iso, T2: hyper, T1+C: vivid enhancement
三. Extradural tumor
Intraspinal canal:
-Lymphoma, hemangioma, metastasis.....
Vertebral bodies:
-metastasis, bony tumor at vertebra
Paravertebral space:
-Metastasis
