ABSTRACT

La presencia de elementos extraños dentro del canal raquídeo es infrecuente y no hay claro consenso respecto de su tratamiento. Las publicaciones sobre fragmentos de proyectil de arma de fuego intracanal recomiendan la exéresis de los fragmentos ante la posibilidad de migración, sobre todo, cuando están en una zona próxima al cono medular. Se debería proceder del mismo modo ante una aguja dentro del canal espinal. Presentamos a una paciente con dolor radicular invalidante provocado por un fragmento de aguja dentro del canal espinal luego de una cesárea. Nivel de Evidencia: IV


The presence of foreign elements within the spinal canal is rare and there is no clear consensus regarding its treatment. The publications on intracanal firearm projectile fragments recommend exeresis of the fragments due to the possibility of migration, especially when they are in an area close to the medullary cone. The same procedure should be applied to a needle inside the spinal canal. We present a patient with disabling radicular pain caused by a needle fragment within the spinal canal after cesarean section. Level of Evidence: IV

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Background: It is important to obtain representative histological samples of solid biliopancreatic lesions without a clear indication for resection. The role of new needles in such task is yet to be determined. Aim: To compare performance assessment between 20G double fine needle biopsy (FNB) and conventional 22G fine needle aspiration (FNA) needles for endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided biopsy. Methods: This prospective study examined 20 patients who underwent the random puncture of solid pancreatic lesions with both needles and the analysis of tissue samples by a single pathologist. Results: The ProCore 20G FNB needle provided more adequate tissue samples (16 vs. 9, p=0.039) with better cellularity quantitative scores (11 vs. 5, p=0.002) and larger diameter of the histological sample (1.51±1.3 mm vs. 0.94±0.55 mm, p=0.032) than the 22G needle. The technical success, puncture difficulty, and sample bleeding were similar between groups. The sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic accuracy were 88.9%, 100%, and 90% and 77.8%, 100%, and 78.9% for the 20G and 22G needles, respectively. Conclusions: The samples obtained with the ProCore 20G FNB showed better histological parameters; although there was no difference in the diagnostic performance between the two needles, these findings may improve pathologist performance.


RESUMO Racional: As lesões sólidas pancreáticas não ressecáveis cirurgicamente demandam boa amostragem tecidual para definição histológica e condução oncológica . O papel das novas agulhas de ecopunção no aprimoramento diagnóstico ainda necessita elucidação. Objetivo: Comparar as biópsias guiadas por ecoendoscoopia com a nova agulha 20G de bisel frontal duplo (FNB) com a agulha de aspiração fina 22G convencional. Métodos: Este estudo prospectivo avaliou 20 pacientes submetidos à punção de lesões pancreáticas sólidas com ambas agulhas e envolveu análise de amostras teciduais por um único patologista. Resultados: A agulha FNB 20G forneceu amostras de tecido mais adequadas (16 vs. 9, p=0,039) com melhores escores quantitativos de celularidade (11 vs. 5, p=0,002) e maior diâmetro máximo da amostra histológica (1,51±1,3 mm vs. 0,94±0,55 mm, p=0,032) que a agulha 22G. O sucesso técnico, dificuldade de punção e sangramento da amostra foram semelhantes entre os grupos. A sensibilidade, especificidade e acurácia diagnóstica foram 88,9%, 100% e 90% e 77,8%, 100% e 78,9% para as agulhas 20G e 22G, respectivamente. Conclusão: As amostras obtidas com a FNB 20G apresentaram melhores parâmetros histológicos, embora não tenha havido diferença no desempenho diagnóstico entre as duas agulhas.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objectives: to report a clinical case of needle phobia which culminated in cardiac arrest and describe the outcome of a care plan based on fear and anxiety diagnoses, using the Roy adaptation model as the framework. Methods: case study conducted in a chemotherapy outpatient unit in Rio de Janeiro. Care was guided by the nursing process and the use of instruments to assess the venous network, anxiety and fear. Results: the Roy adaptation model enabled proposing nursing interventions that allowed the study subject to adapt to the external and internal stimuli triggered by vasovagal syndrome. The instruments indicated the choice of an adequate semi-implanted venous access device and led to improved levels of anxiety and fear. Final Considerations: after carrying out the nursing activities, anxiety was reduced, and the patient achieved greater control over fear.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Purpose: To compare the use of topical anesthesia and retrobulbar anesthesia during silicone oil removal with a mixed pars plana technique, through evaluating the pain experience of patients. Methods: We selected patients according to their behavior during previous vitreoretinal surgery and ophthalmologic examinations and divided them into two anesthesia groups: topical (n=36) and retrobulbar (n=33). We used a mixed technique for the passive removal of silicone oil in both groups. During each step of the surgery, the patients' pain experience and the surgeon's comfort were scored according to a pain scale. Results: The pain experienced during the application of the anesthesia was significantly greater in the retrobulbar group (p<0.001). The topical group experienced greater pain during trocar insertion (p<0.001). There was no significant difference between the groups regarding the overall pain experience or complications. Conclusions: The pain experience of the selected patients during silicone oil removal was comparable between the topical and the retrobulbar anesthesia. Topical anesthesia with the mixed pars plana technique is an effective and safe alternative option for silicone oil removal surgery.


RESUMO Objetivo: Comparar a sensação de dor de pacientes durante a remoção do óleo de silicone sob anestesia tópica e retrobulbar, usando uma técnica via pars plana combinada. Métodos: Os pacientes foram selecionados, de acordo com suas atitudes durante cirurgia vitreorretiniana prévia e exames oftalmológicos, e divididos em dois grupos: anestesia tópica e retrobulbar. Para a remoção passiva do óleo de silicone, utilizou-se uma técnica combinada em ambos os grupos. A sensação de dor dos pacientes e o conforto do cirurgião foram classificados através de uma escala de dor durante cada etapa da cirurgia. Resultados: Os grupos anestesia tópica e retrobulbar incluíram 36 e 33 pacientes, respectivamente. A sensação de dor durante a aplicação da anestesia foi significativamente maior no grupo retrobulbar (p<0,001). O grupo anestesia tópica sentiu mais dor durante a inserção do trocarte (p<0,001). Não houve diferença significativa entre os grupos em relação à sensação geral de dor e a complicações. Conclusões: A sensação de dor é comparável entre a anestesia tópica e a retrobulbar durante a remoção de óleo de silicone. A combinação de anestesia tópica e uma técnica via pars plana é uma opção alternativa eficaz e segura para a cirurgia de remoção de óleo de silicone.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT We describe a unique complication during primary posterior continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (PCCC) in a patient with megalocornea scheduled for phacoemulsification with toric multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. After nucleus emulsification and cortex removal, the capsular bag was filled with cohesive viscoelastic in preparation for PCCC to achieve reverse optic capture of the IOL, thus ensuring stability. However, as soon as the initial puncture was made using a 27-gauge needle to start the capsulotomy, the posterior capsule opening extended peripherally from 0º-180º. This capsule extension was similar to the Argentinean-flag sign in hypermature cataracts, and both are caused by excessive intracapsular pressure. Careful bimanual manipulation was performed to implant the IOL on the desired axis, which occurred uneventfully. At a postoperative visit, the patient exhibited excellent uncorrected visual acuity with a well-aligned IOL.


RESUMO Os autores demonstram uma complicação durante a realização de uma capsulo tomia circular contínua posterior (CCCP) em um paciente com megalocórnea programado facoemulsificação com implante de lente intraocular (LIO) tórica multifocal. Após a remoção do núcleo e córtex, o saco capsular foi preenchido por viscoelástico coesivo com finalidade de prepará-lo para realização da CCCP e com isso assegurar o correto alinhamento do implante no eixo desejado. Entretanto, assim que a agulha de 27-gauge foi utilizada para confecção puntura inicial da capsulotomia, imediatamente a cápsula posterior se abriu até periferia de 0-180 graus, similar à lesão capsular vista no sinal da Bandeira Argentina em cataratas hipermaduras, ambos causados por pressão excessiva intracapsular. Manipulação cuidadosa foi realizada para implantação da lente no eixo correto, a qual aconteceu sem intercorrências. No pós-operatório, a paciente apresentou uma excelente acuidade visual sem correção com LIO corretamente alinhada no eixo desejado.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND/AIMS: A barbed puncture needle with a side hole was recently developed to improve sample quality and quantity in endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA). In this study, we retrospectively assessed the usefulness of this puncture needle. METHODS: Factors affecting diagnostic yield, safety, and diagnostic accuracy were investigated in 76 patients who consecutively underwent EUS-FNA for neoplastic lesions at our hospital between January and December 2013. RESULTS: The procedure was successful in all cases; the rates of sample collection and determination of the correct diagnosis were 92.1% and 89.5%, respectively. The mean number of needle passes required for diagnosis was 1.1. Complications included mild intraluminal bleeding in two patients (2.6%). Multivariate analysis revealed that lesion size (< or =20 mm) was significantly associated with a decreased chance of determining the correct diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS: Core biopsy needles with a side hole are safe and provide a satisfactory diagnostic yield. However, the side hole may potentially reduce the rate of making the correct diagnosis in small lesions.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE:Small size needles have been regularly used for intradiscal injection of innocuous/potential therapeutic compounds in experimental conditions, but also in clinic procedures, such as discography. Our aim was to investigate if a 30-gauge needle could trigger observable changes on intact intervertebral discs. We compared these effects to those induced by a large size needle (21-gauge), a well-known intervertebral disc degenerative model based on needle puncture.METHODS:Coccygeal intervertebral discs (Co8-9) of adult male Wistar rats were punctured with a 21-gauge needle, while the coccygeal levels Co7-8 and Co9-10 remained intact. The 30-gauge needle was used to inject a safe volume of saline (2 µl) on both intact (Co9-10) and punctured (Co8-9) discs. MRI and histological score were performed at 2, 15 and 42 days after procedure.RESULTS: MRI analyses revealed significant reduction on signal intensity of 21-gauge punctured discs. Intact discs which received a saline injection through a 30-gauge needle also revealed significant alterations in the MRI signal when compared with control discs. No histological changes were observed in the intact saline injected discs at any time analyzed.CONCLUSION: Since significant intervertebral image changes were observed with a 30-gauge needle, cautious interpretation of the pharmacological inoculation findings is required.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUÇÃO: A videoendoscopia tem se estabelecido como procedimento de escolha no tratamento da ptose do supercílio e das rugas da região frontal. O acesso minimamente invasivo produz vantagens em relação à tradicional incisão coronal. Diversos métodos de fixação são relatados na literatura, apresentando resultados semelhantes. Nesta série de casos, descrevemos a fixação direta com agulha. OBJETIVO: Avaliar o prognóstico da videocirurgia, utilizando-se a técnica direta com agulha. MÉTODO: Avaliação fotográfica computadorizada de 37 pacientes submetidos à videoendoscopia da região frontal com a fixação direta com agulha, realizada em dois hospitais privados na cidade de Porto Alegre-RS. Resultados: A elevação média do supercílio foi de 5,7 mm no terço lateral e de 4,4 mm no terço medial. Após um pequeno descenso da elevação, no primeiro mês pós-operatório, o reposicionamento do supercílio permaneceu inalterado nas medidas subsequentes até 24 meses. CONCLUSÃO: A fixação direta com agulha é capaz de produzir resultados duráveis, seguros e reprodutíveis no período em que foram realizadas as medições.


INTRODUCTION: Video endoscopy has become a procedure of choice for the treatment of eyebrow ptosis and forehead wrinkles. This minimally invasive technique has several advantages over traditional coronal incision. Several fixation methods are reported in the literature, with similar results. In this study, we describe direct needle fixation. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the prognosis of video endoscopic surgery using a direct needle technique. METHOD: Computerized photographic evaluations of 37 patients undergoing video endoscopy of the frontal region with needle direct fixation were conducted in two private hospitals in the city of Porto Alegre in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. RESULTS: The mean eyebrow elevations were 5.7 and 4.4 mm in the lateral and middle third measurements. After a small dip in elevation in the first month after surgery, the repositioning of the eyebrow remained unchanged in subsequent measurements up to 24 months later. CONCLUSION: Direct needle fixation produced lasting, reliable, and reproducible results during the period in which measurements were made.

ABSTRACT

La calidad de la salud bucal puede estar disminuida no sólo por razones culturales y socio-económicas, sino además por el miedo que algunos pacientes experimentan en relación a la atención odontológica. La atención odontológica despierta en numerosos pacientes, especialmente en los niños, miedo y ansiedad, que pueden originar conductas de rechazo a la misma o dificultar el trabajo del profesional. Elmiedo persistente a objetos cortantes o punzantes en particular a las agujas se denomina: Belenofobia, un trastorno común que afecta al 10 por ciento de la población. En tal sentido el objetivo de este trabajo fue identificar los miedos que pueden presentarse en relación a la atención odontológica, estudiando 210 pacientes seleccionados al azar, que concurrieron a la visita odontológica para realizarse una extracción dentaria. Nuestros resultados mostraron un alto porcentaje (72,38 por ciento) de miedo a las agujas, lo que nos permitió concluir que la Belenofobia en Odontología usualmente se debe al miedo a las agujas. Registrar la información, las experiencias e identificar losinstrumentos dentales que se relacionan con el miedo a la atención odontológica permite identificar factores que dificultan la atención de los pacientes y que se evidencian en su comportamiento cuando se enfrentan al miedo. Acompañar al paciente a afrontar las dificultades en relación a la atención odontológica contribuirá a la promoción de su salud y de su desarrollo psíquico y emocional...

ABSTRACT

Um consenso atual em otoplastia estética apregoa que somente as técnicas que desmontem a resiliente arquitetura cartilaginosa das orelhas protrusas, aliadas à fixação da nova forma com suturas, podem alcançar resultados bons e estáveis. O alvo cirúrgico de toda otoplastia é a nova dobra da antélice torneada e estética: uma roliça dobra afunilada que dá forma e beleza à orelha externa. Neste artigo é descrita a experiência de 10 anos com o uso de um novo instrumental no estriamento da cartilagem auricular: as tradicionais agulhas de crochê. Além disso, são demonstrados o modo de aparelhar o novo dispositivo, para ter uma borda inferior em bisel cortante, e a técnica de manejo desse dispositivo por pequenas botoeiras sob a hélice auricular. Após a moldagem do complexo antelical, é assegurada a nova forma com suturas, absorvível e não-absorvível. Com essa técnica, é observado baixo índice de complicações, em decorrência de estreitos túneis de descolamento cutâneo da face anterior do pavilhão auricular. No artigo, é também apresentado um caso clínico bem-sucedido com o uso do novo instrumental.


In aesthetic otoplasty, it is widely known that only techniques that disassemble the resilient cartilaginous architecture in cases of protruding ears coupled with anchoring sutures can achieve good and stable results. All surgical otoplasty procedures aim to achieve a new, shapely, and aesthetic antihelix fold that shapes and beautifies the outer ear. In this article, we describe our 10-year experience with the use of a new instrument for auricular cartilage striation - the traditional crochet needle. Moreover, we describe the manner in which the new instrument can be prepared in order to have a lower bevel cutting edge as well as the technical management of this instrument in small buttonholes in the auricular helix. After molding the antihelix complex, the new form is fixed with absorbable and non-absorbable sutures. With this technique, there is a low complication rate due to narrow cutaneous detachment tunnels in the anterior surface of the ear. In the article, we also describe the successful clinical use of the new instrument.

ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to introduce the experience of diagnosis and treatment for patients with migrated acupuncture needle to pleural cavity and or lung parenchyma. We had treated 5 patients who had acupuncture needles in their thoracic cavity from January 2000 to September 2009. The mean age was 55.8 yr old. All patients suffered from the sequelae of the cerebrovascular accident and had been treated with acupuncture. They had drowsiness and hemiplegic or quadriplegic motor activity. Fever and dyspnea were main symptoms when referred to us. Diagnosis was made by the chest radiography and chest computed tomography which revealed straight metallic materials in their thoracic cavity. The needles were removed via thoracotomy or thoracoscopic procedures. Pleural decortications were also needed in four patients. Thoracoscopic surgery was successfully performed in two patients. After the removal all patients became symptomless. Although we experienced only five patients who have migrated acupuncture needles in thoracic cavity, we suggest that thoracoscopic removal of the needle with or without pleural decortication is the most optimal modality of treatment in those patients.

ABSTRACT

This clinical trial aimed at comparing the intensity of pain and bruising by subcutaneous and intramuscular injections using and retractable fixed syringes and needles and syringes with no needles combined, at a public hospital in Sao Paulo, for six months. We evaluated the perception of pain in case of intramuscular (n=1000) and subcutaneous injections (n=240). In subcutaneous application, bruise formation was also verified. Pain and bruising scores were higher in the group with no needles combined (p<0.001) and (p<0.029), respectively. The test power in relation to the pain scale of was 0.98. The use of retractable fixed needles is recommended in the application of subcutaneous and intramuscular injections. Clinical trial registration number: NCT01271608.

ABSTRACT

Los cuerpos extraños intra-pulmonares usualmente ingresan al organismo por aspiración a través de la vía aérea y pueden ser extraídos por broncoscopia. Es poco usual que lo hagan a través de la piel, excepto cuando se trata de lesiones penetrantes en tórax. Sepresenta el caso de un varón de 60 años, alcohólico, fumador, que consulta por dolor en punta de costado, disnea de esfuerzo, astenia y pérdida de peso. En los estudios de imágenes (radiografía de tórax y tomografía axial computarizada) se detecta un tumor que nace centralmente y ocupa todo el lóbulo superior derecho, el cual engloba parcialmente cuerpo extraño (aguja) que había ingresado al tórax varios años antes por vía transcutánea, lo cual el paciente no recordaba. Se realizó biopsia transtorácica con aguja y se diagnostica adenocarcinoma pulmonar. Al parecer no existió relación causal entre la aparición de la neoplasia y el cuerpo extraño. Se revisa la literatura sobre el tema.


The intra-pulmonary foreign bodies usually enter to the organism for aspiration across the airway and can be extracted by bronchoscopy. It is slightly usual that do it across the skin, except when it is a question of penetrating injuries in thorax. One presents thecase of a 60-year-old, alcoholic, smoking male, who consults for pain in top sideward, difficulty in breathing of effort, debility and loss of weight. In the studies of images (X-ray photography of thorax and axial tomography computerized) one detects a tumor that it is born central and occupies the whole top right lobe, which includes partially foreign body (needle) that had entered to the thorax several years before for transcutaneous route, which the patient did not remember. It was realized trans thoracic needle biopsy and it was diagnosed pulmonary adenocarcinoma.Apparently causal relation did not exist between the appearance of the neoplasiaand the foreign body. The literature is checked on the topic.

ABSTRACT

Paciente de 70 anos foi submetida à cirurgia de catarata e glaucoma no olho esquerdo em 1996. Onze anos depois, com a pressão intraocular descontrolada (32 mmHg), foram realizados dois agulhamentos episclerais com mitomicina-C, na tentativa de recuperar a função da trabeculectomia. Após o segundo agulhamento, a paciente evoluiu com importante hiperfiltração, atalamia grau III e iminente descompensação da córnea. Foi tentado o tratamento clínico com corticóide, cicloplégico, inibidores da produção do aquoso e lente de contato terapêutica, sem sucesso. A câmara anterior foi sucessivamente preenchida com ar, metilcelulose 4 por cento e hialuronato de sódio 1 por cento, com melhora apenas temporária. Foram feitas suturas compressivas sobre a bolsa filtrante, sem sucesso. Realizou-se, então, a revisão cirúrgica da fístula, que evidenciou grande área de exposição do corpo ciliar e da coróide, correspondente ao local do agulhamento. O quadro estabilizou-se após recobrimento com enxerto de esclera de cadáver e reintrodução de terapia hipotensora tópica. A gravidade da complicação descrita por um procedimento relativamente fácil e seguro, ressalta a importância deste relato de caso.


A 70-year-old female patient underwent cataract and glaucoma surgery on her left eye in 1996. Eleven years later, we performed two bleb needling revisions with adjunctive mytomicin-C, in order to decrease an uncontrolled intraocular pressure of 32 mmHg. After the second needling, she developed severe overfiltration, with flat anterior chamber, choroidal effusion, and impending corneal decompensation. Conservative treatment with cycloplegic and corticosteroid eye drops, acetazolamide and therapeutic contact lenses was unsuccessfully tried. Anterior chamber reformation was successively tried with air, 4 percent ophthalmic viscosurgical device and 1 percent sodium hyaluronate, with only temporary results. Compressive sutures above the overfiltering bleb were applied, unsuccessfully. In order to avoid additional corneal endothelium damage, a surgical bleb revision was performed and revealed a large area of ciliary body and choroidal exposure under the conjunctiva. It was covered by a donor scleral patch graft providing successful resolution. Nevertheless, we had to reintroduce hypotensive eyedrops. While bleb needling is a relatively safe and effective procedure, ophthalmologists should be aware of the possibility of potentially serious complications, such as in this case report.

ABSTRACT

To evaluate the role of needle diameter in causing postdural puncture headache [PDPH] in patients undergoing elective caesarian section. Comparative cross-sectional study. This study was conducted in Department of Anaesthesia and Intensive care PNS Shifa Karachi over duration of six months. It was a cross sectional study of 100 patients, which were divided into two separate groups. Group I and Group II were given spinal anaesthesia with 25 gauge and 27 gauge Quincke needles respectively. In both the groups the patients were randomly selected and were blind to size of the spinal needle used. The data was analyzed using Chi-square test. A P value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Two patients in 25-G group and one in 27-G group required additional general anaesthesia because of inadequate spinal anaesthesia. Thus, a total of three patients were excluded from the study. Five out of forty-eight patients in group 1 and one out of forty-nine patients in Group II suffered from post spinal headache. The proportion of patients with post spinal headache with 25 G needle is significantly more than those with 27 G

ABSTRACT

Los tumores epidermoideos espinales son tumores muy poco frecuentes, que pueden tener un origen congénito o iatrogénico. Los tumores de origen iatrogénico pueden formarse a partir de la implantación de fragmentos de piel dentro del espacio epidural o subaracnoideo, que posteriormente crecen. El arrastre de células epidérmicas se puede producir por un "efecto de biopsia" durante las punciones lumbares, por una inadecuada adaptación del mandril dentro de la aguja. El tiempo de latencia hasta la aparición de los primeros síntomas neurológicos puede estar entre los 2 y 10 años. Se localizan, principalmente, en la columna lumbar. Los signos y los síntomas varían según la situación, el sitio y la dimensión del tumor. Las manifestaciones clínicas tienen relación con su efecto compresivo y aparecen cuando este tumor adquiere un tamaño de 1,5 a 3 cm. y comienza a ejercer presión sobre las raíces nerviosas de la cola de caballo. El diagnóstico presuntivo se establece por el antecedente de alguna punción lumbar practicada en años anteriores, en un paciente que presenta la clínica antes mencionada, sumado al informe radiológico del hallazgo de una imagen con diferente densidad dentro del canal medular, de localización extramedular y próxima a la zona de la punción lumbar. El pronóstico es bueno por su benignidad anatomopatológica y el tratamiento es quirúrgico.


Spinal epidermoid tumors are very rare and their origin may be either congenital or iatrogenic. Iatrogenic tumors may originate from the implant of skin fragments within the epidural or subarachnoid space and later grow. The dragging of epidermic cells may occur from a "biopsy effect" during lumbar punctures due to an inadequate placement of the mandrel inside the needle. The time of latency until the appearance of the first neurological symptoms may be between 2 to 10 years. They are mainly located in the lumbar spine. Signs and symptoms vary according to the situation, site and size of the tumor. Clinical manifestations are related to their compression effect and appear when the tumor reaches a size of 1.5 to 3 cm and begins to exert pressure on the nerve roots of the horsetail. Presumptive diagnosis is based on the history of a lumbar puncture of some years back in a patient with the above-mentioned background of compressive symptoms added to the radiological report of an image with a different density within the medullar canal, located extra-medularly and near the area of the lumbar puncture. Treatment is surgical and it has a good prognosis due to it being anatomo-pathologically benign.

Os sinais e sintomas variam conforme a situação, o sítio e a dimensao do tumor. As manifestaçoes clínicas associam-se a seu efeito compressivo e aparecem quando o tamanho do tumor atinge 1,5 a 3 cm e começa a comprimir as raízes nervosas da cauda eqüina. O diagnóstico presuntivo é estabelecido pelo antecedente de alguma punção lombar praticada em anos anteriores, em um paciente que apresenta o quadro clínico antes mencionado, além de um relatório radiológico do achado de uma imagem com diferente densidade dentro do canal medular, de localização extramedular e próxima da região da punção lombar. Por sua benignidade anatomopatológica, o prognóstico é bom, e o tratamento é cirúrgico.
