The outcome and clinical characteristics of teenagers and young adults (TYA) with ependymoma have not been well documented. We report the Royal Marsden Hospital experience treating TYA with ependymoma. Sixteen TYA were treated for ependymoma from 1971 to 2004 and are compared to 24 children (not infants) treated in the same period. Twelve TYA (75%) received treatment in a neuro-oncology unit.

Cynthia B. Picicirilli, William M. Chadduck
A child with Morquio syndrome developed severe cervical kyphosis causing myelopathy. Decompression of the spinal cord was accomplished by an anterior approach using multilevel corpectomies and stabilization with calvarial bone grafts and halo immobilization. The case reported is unique in that from an uncommon degree of cervical kyphosis rather than the usual atlantoaxial instability seen in patie...... hiện toàn bộ
