Ⅰ.はじめに
脊髄硬膜内髄外腫瘍は,神経根への圧迫による根性痛や腰痛,脊髄症状による歩行障害などを来す1,17,18).画像診断が普及していないロシアのシベリア地区では,患者は保存的治療を受け,症状が改善しない場合に限りMRIなどの画像診断がなされる.すなわち相当の期間,経過観察されることになる.筆者らの所属している施設には,シベリア地区の患者が集積する.症状を有する脊髄硬膜内髄外腫瘍の治療の目的は,神経組織の減圧と腫瘍の根治であることは言うまでもない1,14,17,18).本研究では,シベリア地区における脊髄硬膜内髄外腫瘍摘出術の手術成績について,腫瘍の局在,病理所見,術前後の神経症状,手術のタイミング,手術方法について後方視的に検討した.
We retrospectively investigated the clinical presentation and outcome of patients with spinal intradural extramedullary tumors, which had been surgically treated. A total of 97 consecutive patients(32 males and 65 females;mean age, 48 years;range, 17-79 years)underwent surgery between 2004 and 2014 at Irkutsk State Medical Academy and affiliated hospitals. To determine presentation and outcomes associated with these tumors, we evaluated the waiting period before surgery, neurological symptoms including motor, sensory, urinary, and rectal dysfunction, modified McCormick scale, Macnab's outcome assessment of patient satisfaction, surgical procedure, tumor location, and histological diagnosis. The most frequent preoperative symptom was myelopathy(52.6%)at presentation, followed by radiculopathy(20.6%), and a combination of both(26.8%). Surgical intervention produced highly successful results, in which 77 of 97 cases showed neurological improvement. However, the symptoms were not completely reversed, and there was improvement only the equivalent to one grade in the modified McCormick scale for most patients. Surgical outcomes were not influenced by tumor location, extent of lamina resection, or histological diagnosis, but there was a correlation between greater patient improvement and a shorter waiting period before surgery. As such, we recommend early total resection for symptomatic spinal intradural extramedullary tumors.
