The authors report 3 cases of primary intramedullary glioblastoma multiforme which is relatively rare among spinal cord tumors. They were located at the thoracolumbar, cervical and conus medullaris region respectively. Clinical, radiographic and pathological material are presented and the literature is discussed.

Intradural spinal teratoma is very rare. A case of intradural teratoma attached to the conus medullaris associated with lumbosacral meningocele in a 16-year old boy is reported. Also comparable reported cases were reviewed in the world literature.

Spinal intramedullary teratoma is a rare tumor. A case of intramedullary teratoma of the conus medullaris with caudal development is presented. The patient underwent magnetic resonance imaging and then the tumor was removedd surgically. It was reportedwith the review of literatures.

PURPOSE: To obtain spatial information on the acetabular fossa concerning `transacetabular screw' insertion through the acetabular fossa parallel to the quadrilateral surface for fixing an acetabular fracture. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Each hemipelvis harvested from 25 adult fresh frozen cadavers was sectioned into eight segments. This resulted in seven measuring points located along the outer margin of the acetabular fossa. At these points, we measured and compared the vertical thicknesses of cartilage and bone from the quadrilateral surface. RESULTS: The average thickness of the thinnest portion of the acetabular fossa floor was 3.9+/-1.9 mm. The entire thickness of the bone and cartilage measured vertically from the quadrilateral surface at the 7 points ranged from 12.7+/-2.1 mm to 17.8+/-3.8 mm. The thinnest safe space of exposed threads of the `transacetabular screw' inserted through the acetabular fossa was consistently just below the posterior conus of the lunate surface, measuring 4.8+/-1.6 mm (p<0.05). At the other points, it measured 8.3-10.8 mm. CONCLUSION: We suggest that `transacetabular screws' can be inserted safely if due consideration is paid to the spatial characteristics of on the acetabular fossa. Screw insertion into the postero-inferior portion of the acetbular fossa should be done carefully.

Gangiogliomas are rare tumors, primarily seen in patients under the age of 30 years. They occure least commonly in the spinal cord. We present a 17-year-old girl who harbored an intramedullary conus ganglioglioma.
