OBJECTIVE: Intramedullary hemangioblastomas are rare tumors, accounting for just 3% of
all intraspinal neoplasms. The purpose of this study is to define the occurrence of isolated …

Previous studies suggest that the cell adhesion molecule L1 promotes neurite growth by
neutralizing white matter associated inhibitors of axonal growth. We made a soluble chimeric …

✓ Brainstem epidermoid cysts are rare lesions, with only 18 reported cases in the literature
and only five purely intrinsic epidermoid cysts within this group. The authors present the case …

Object Tectal gliomas are a distinct form of pediatric brainstem tumor that present in patients
with symptoms related to increased intracranial pressure due to obstructive hydrocephalus. …

OBJECTIVE AND IMPORTANCE: Intraspinal solitary fibrous tumors, which are rare mesenchymal
tumors, have previously been reported as case reports. We review our experience and…

The cell adhesion L1 glycoprotein has been shown to be a potent stimulator of neurite
outgrowth. Expressed on axons and growth cones, L1 mediates cell to cell interactions and …

Fusion proteins are extremely useful for a wide range of experimental and clinical applications.
In contrast to bacterial expression systems that have been used for cytoplasmic regions …

Background: This study evaluates the accuracy, biomechanical profile, and learning curve of
the transverse process trajectory technique (TPT) compared to the straightforward (SF) and …

Methods TPT utilizes a starting point at the lateral aspect of the superior facet and its junction
with the cephalad 1/3 of the transverse process (TP). The TP is drilled to its ventral cortex …

Background The treatment of spinal intramedullary arteriovenous malformations (AVMs)
presents the risk of spinal cord ischemia because of the vascular nidus and their feeding …
