Outcome |
Kim et al, 2000 [34] |
49/F |
Seizure, facial palsy, left upper
extremity weakness, paraparesis, hypesthesia below the T6 dermatome,
urine incontinence |
IDEM mass between the T1 and T2 spinal levels |
Surgery and antituberculous drugs |
Paraparesis has improved, and urine
function is normal |
Muthukumar et al, 2006 [35]
|
14/F
|
Tonic-clonic seizure
|
Lesion in the spinal cord
|
T7-T12
Laminectomy
|
Power gradually increased during a three-month period
|
|
45/F
|
Numbness, sphincter problems, and lower extremity inability
|
T1-weighted scans show an isointense lesion spreading the cord, whereas T2-weighted images show hypointensity with a central region of hyperintensity.
|
T2-T5
Laminectomy
|
The patient’s neurological condition had not improved
|
Hristea et al, 2008 [36] |
20/M |
Lower-limb weakness and
disorientation |
Obliterated thoracic and lumbar subarachnoid space |
IV
dexamethasone and intrathecal methylprednisolone |
when supported,
walk |
|
40/M |
Right-leg paresthesia, walking difficulties, and bladder
incontinence |
Multiple intramedullary lesions at D4, D5—6, D8, D10,
and D11 |
IV dexamethasone and intrathecal methylprednisolone |
The
patient was able to walk without assistance, had modest sensory loss,
moderate spasticity, and no sphincter problems |
|
29/M |
Sensory loss, paresthesia, gradual lower limb weakness, and
walking difficulties |
At T8-9, a solitary intramedullary mass suggests
tuberculoma |
IV dexamethasone and intrathecal methylprednisolone |
The
patient was able to walk on his own |
Ding et al, 2012 [37]
|
63/M
|
Weak hands and arms
neck and thoracic discomfort
|
A shuttle-like mass with low signal intensity extending from C2 to C4 in
the posterior epidural region, an intraspinal extradural mass, and a
compressed and edematous spinal cord
|
C2-C4 laminectomy was used to decompress the spinal cord and remove the
tumor
|
The patient recovered completely neurologically
|
Verma et al, 2013 [38] |
68/M |
Low back discomfort, left-sided
lower-extremity weakness, and radiculopathy |
A lobulated enhancing
intrathecal mass at L1 |
Bilateral laminectomy and medial facetectomy |
Reported minor discomfort, independent walking, and persistent weakness
in just the left tibialis anterior muscle |
Venkatesh et al, 2018 [39] |
31/M |
Mid-backache with growing
weakening of both lower limbs, urgent micturition |
T1 hypointense and
T2 heterointense lesion seen posterior to the thoracic spinal cord,
ranging from C7 to D5 vertebral levels |
D1-D5 laminectomy |
The patient
showed normal bladder function and increased strength in both lower
limbs (Grade 4-5) |
