Abstract

Tumors of the sacrum are frequently missed. The actual diagnosis is often long delayed. The low index of suspicion and the difficulties in obtaining adequate X rays of this region due to the presence of gas bubbles and fecal matter in the bowel which obscure the bony markings of the sacrum are factors which contribute to the problem. Furthermore, myelography of the lowest portion of the dural sac may lead to wrong or confusing information. Six cases from a neurosurgical practice of more than 40 years are presented. Methods to ensure early diagnosis and treatment of tumors of the sacrum are described. Computed tomography available during the past several years has become the most important aid in the evaluation of lesions of the sacrum.

遗漏了骶骨肿瘤。
骶骨肿瘤常被遗漏。实际的诊断往往被拖延很长时间。怀疑指数低以及由于肠道内存在气泡和粪便物质而难以获得该区域的足够X射线,这些气泡和粪便物质模糊了骶骨的骨标记,这是导致该问题的因素。此外,硬脊膜囊最低部分的脊髓造影可能导致错误或混淆的信息。从神经外科实践超过40年的六个病例提出。介绍了确保骶骨肿瘤早期诊断和治疗的方法。在过去的几年中,计算机断层扫描已经成为评估骶骨病变的最重要的辅助手段。
