A rare case of giant invasive intraosseous schwannoma in lumbar vertebra with no neurologic deficit is reported. This tumor had vertebral body, left paravertebral tissue and lamina invasion and thus classified as type V giant invasive schwannoma according to Sridhar's classification of benign nerve sheath tumor. Because intraosseous portion was significantly larger than extraosseous portion, this tumor was mentioned as intraosseous schwannoma. Tumor was successfully resected using corpectomy, mesh cage insertion and posterior fixation. Pathological diagnosis was benign schwannoma.

The authors performed occipito-cervical(C2-3) fusion in a case of atlanto-axial subluxation caused by congenital seperation of dens. At first posterior cervical fusion(C1-2-3) with rib graft was performed, but several days after the operation C1-2 subluxation developed again with cervical cord compression syndrome. In the second operation, the occiput was included in the fusion after removal of the posterior neural arch of atlas which resulted in good reduction and marked improvement in neurologic symptoms.

Acute traumatic spondylolisthesis at L5-S1 level is a rare condition, almost exclusively the result of major trauma, frequently associated with transverse process fractures and severe neurologic deficits. Recently, open reduction and internal fixation with posterior stabilization has been the method of treatment most frequently reported. We report a rare case of traumatic L5-S1 pondylolisthesis with a unilateral facet locking with a review of literatures.

STUDY DESIGN: A Case report. OBJECTIVES: We report 4 cases of transverse fracture of upper sacrum with good clinical results. SUMMARY OF LITERATURE REVIEW: There is no clear guideline for the treatment of transverse fracture of upper sacrum. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Four patients, who visited our institute for transverse fracture of upper sacrum, were reviewed from January 2006 to July 2009. RESULTS: All patients had good clinical results after treatment. CONCLUSIONS: In all cases, patients were managed conservatively without reduction or internal fixation. Only for Roy-Camille type 2 and 3 transverse fracture of the upper sacrum with neurologic deficit, decompression was performed, yielding good clinical results.

The intradural lumbar disc herniation which was first described by Dandy in 1942 is unusual. The pathogenesis is obscure and preoperative diagnosis is not easy. The patient usually have more severe neurologic deficits than those found in the much more common extradural disc herniations. We experienced two cases of the intradural lumbar disc herniation who had previous disc operations and the symptoms and neurologic signs were improved after removal of the intradural sequestration of disc fragments.

The study carried on 30 patients diagnosed reversible ischemic neurologic deficit (RIND) at Bach Mai Hospital Nervous deparment from 2000 January. Result: The indicende of male was higher than female (67% vs 33%). 70% were 45 to 59 years of age. Two major reasons were internal carotid artery stenosis 60%, heart diseases e.g mitral stenosis and insufficiency, artrial fibrillation 27%, the cause of unknown 13%. The clinical symptoms of RIND were: hemiplegia 100%, hemisensory loss, dysphasia or aphasia. RIND can make cerebral infarction, so need to detect early and treat timely to advoid stroke and cerebral infarction
