Review Of The Literature

Hemangioblastomas represent 3% of all central nervous system (CNS) tumors. The majority of CNS hemangioblastomas are infratentorial, with the cerebellum being the most frequent location, while 13% are found in the brainstem. Symptoms of brainstem hemangioblastomas can be very subtle and might therefore be overlooked or misinterpreted. We report the case of a patient with a hemangioblastoma at the junction of the medulla oblongata and the cervical spine and provide a brief review of the literature.

ABSTRACT Large anterior cervical osteophytes can occur in degeneration of the cervical spine, cervical spondylosis or in diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH). Voluminous anterior cervical osteophytes which can develop from C3 to C7 can cause narrowing of the pharyngoesophageal segment by external compression and may cause dysphagia, which may be life threatening when it is associated with aspiration and or dyspnea. The objective of this case report is to highlight how commonly occurring anterior cervical osteophytes may become an unrecognized cause for life-threatening dysphagia. The clinical and radiographic findings in patient with dysphagia and ventral osteophytes of the cervical spine due to degeneration are demonstrated. The anterolateral approach for removal of these osteophytes is described. How to cite this article Veerabhadraiah P, Rao V, Shankar R, Shivappa N, Kumar P, Nagaraj TM.

Review Of The Literature

AbstractRetropharyngeal abscesses in adults are very rare and usually secondary to chronic tuberculous cervical spine osteomyelitis. We report a case of Staphylococcus aureus septicaemia with multifocal abscesses and osteomyelitis of the cervical spine causing a retropharyngeal abscess. This presented as neck pain and dysphagia following a fall. In addition, we have reviewed related cases.
