RESUMO
Electrification accidents is a serious pathology due to the passage of an electric current through the body. The clinical manifestation is mainly represented by skin lesions with burners of different degrees however all the tissues of the body can be affected. The cerebral manifestation is a rare entity described in the literature. In this paper, we report the case of a patient with an electrocution accident manifested by an extradural hematoma who has not encountered a similar case described in the literature. We therefore present this case which poses a poorly understood pathophysiological problem.
RESUMO
Angiolipoma are benign tumors composed of mature adipocytes ad mixed with abnormal vascular elements. It reportedly accounts for 0.1-0.5% of all spinal axis tumors in adults and is extremely rare in children. This article describes a case of spinal extradural angiolipoma in a 35-year-old man, who presented with paraplegia and sphincter disorders, the MRI showed extradural spinal lesions at the level of T7 to T10, that squeezed the spinal cord. We attained total resection without any further neurological complication. The diagnosis of SEALs initially can be challenging radiologically since they may imitate other spinal lesions. The gold standard treatment modality should always be surgery, however in some cases, total resection can not be done.
