[Panmedullary ependymoma. A case report].

Panmedullary ependymoma is an unusual disease last reported by Fuentes in 1986. The present case is the first to have been studied by magnetic resonance, using gadolinium. The findings indicated a panmedullary lesion rather than a tumour. Histopathological investigation confirmed the hypothesis.

[Femoral neuropathy with deafferentation pain. Complications of a hematoma during anticoagulant treatment].

A case of femoral palsy associated with chronic pain sensible to Carbamazepine, secondary to iliacus haematoma during anticoagulant therapy is reported. Late femoral nerve decompression followed by transcutaneous neurostimulation permit the normalization of the sensory nerve conduction and a complete clinical recovery. The localizations of hemorrhage and nervous compression are discussed. The necessity of a nerve decompression when features of nervous conduction persist is emphasized. Clinical symptomatology, Carbamazepine and transcutaneous neurostimulation efficacity, electrophysiological features are correlated with a central deafferentation state caused by an incomplete and heterogeneous lesion of the sensory nerve conduction pathways.

[Paravertebral ganglioneuroma in an adult. Discovery during a spinal attack revealing multiple sclerosis].

A paravertebral ganglioneuroma was discovered in a 25 year-old woman presenting a transverse spinal syndrome at the same level. Exeresis necessitated sacrifice of the ninth left intercostal artery, but paraplegia regressed completely under corticotherapy. Additional exploration and subsequent clinical evolution revealed multiple sclerosis, of which the pavaplegia had been a manifestation. The authors discuss ganglioneuroma in the adult, a rare tumour, and the possibility of a link with multiple sclerosis. The association seems fortuitous despite the fact that the tumour and the transverse myelitis occurred at the same level.
