Abstract:
We have experienced two cases of the intramedullary ependymomas in the cervicothoracic and thoracolumbar spinal cord. The myelographic studies showed complete block or fusiform filling defect of the dye and they were treated by total laminectomy with excision of the tumor mass. The histological studies verified them ependymomas and the patients have shown good improvement of the neurological defecits in postoperative period.
