Congenital spinal dermal sinus tract is a rare entity and is usually solitary. Multiple dermal sinus tracts in a child are extremely rare; so far, only five cases have been published in the English literature to our knowledge. We report a case of double dermal sinus tracts with double intradural dermoid, and such a combination has not been reported. Meticulous excision of both dermal sinus tracts and intradural dermoid resulted in complete recovery. We present this rare entity and review the literature.
Mobile intradural extramedullary tumor is a rare entity with only 26 cases reported in the English literature. There is no case report of spinal paraganglioma migrating spontaneously and causing the acute neurological deficit, to the best of our knowledge. We present the first case report of a mobile spinal paraganglioma and review the literature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
