Epidural mass due to aspergillus flavus causing spinal cord compression--a case report and brief update.

Aspergillus infection of the central nervous system (CNS) is an uncommon disease. Most of the reported cases are of sinocranial spread and cases with contiguous spread to spinal cord from lung and other organs are uncommon. A case of pulmonary aspergillosis with extension to thoracic vertebrae forming a paraspinal mass resulting in neurological deficit due to Aspergillus flavus, is reported. The 43 year old patient did not have any obvious predisposing condition. He presented with loss of motor function and succumbed to the infection despite operative intervention and antifungal therapy. A brief update on CNS aspergillosis is presented along with detailed clinical, radiological and laboratory work up of the patient.

Pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism and spinal cord compression.

A 42 year old Greek male with pseudo-pseudohypoparathyroidism presented with difficulty in walking and with lower limb weakness. His physical signs included short stature, thick neck, short fourth metacarpals and metatarsals, and a spastic paraparesis. Serum calcium and phosphate and parathyroid concentrations were normal. Myelography demonstrated compression of the cervical and lumbar cord in association with local bony abnormalities.

Methylprednisolone in spinal cord compression.

In acute nonsurvival studies, eight anesthetized lambs were subjected to cord compression at T13 by means of an epidural balloon distended to a pressure of 200 mm Hg for 40 minutes. Subsequent to withdrawal of the balloon, each animal received 30 mg/kg of methylprednisolone succinate in an intravenous bolus followed by a continuous infusion of 10 mg/kg/hr for the duration of the experiment. Spinal cord blood flow (SCBF) and spinal evoked potential (SEP) determinations were obtained sequentially prior to, during, and at 1/2, 1 1/2, and 2 1/2 hours following compression. In spite of the absence of ischemia following compression, SEPs failed to recover. Methylprednisolone had no apparent effect on blood flow or on the recovery of SEPs when compared with results in ten control animals that received saline alone.
