Spinal Hemangioblastomas and Neuropathic Pain
2021, World NeurosurgeryCitation Excerpt :The major fibers go to the thalamus via the spinothalamic tract (mostly contralateral and less often ipsilaterally) and then to the sensory cortex.29 When this neuroanatomic structure is considered, it can be seen that SHs, generally located close to the DREZ, sometimes lead to NP by a syrinx affecting this system.1,2,4,5,7-9,16,18,27,31 However, as preoperative NP was seen in only 1 patient in this study, the current study is not able to explain the causes affecting preoperative NP.
Health-Related Quality of Life After Microscopic Total Removal of Spinal Intramedullary Ependymomas in a Single-Institute 3-Year Prospective Study
2020, World NeurosurgeryCitation Excerpt :Although several clinical studies have suggested the benefits of surgery for spinal intramedullary ependymoma, little evidence has been accumulated regarding HRQOL outcomes. Nakamura et al.19 retrospectively examined 85 of 105 patients treated surgically for spinal intramedullary tumors. They focused on neuropathic pain after surgical resection and demonstrated that neuropathic pain after surgical resection reduced patient quality of life (QOL), and pain severity varied with tumor location and histologic features, severity of paralysis, and location of pain relative to the tumor.
