Abstract

Seen out a retrospective analysis 65 sick mans operated from intramedullary tumors of spinal cord. Among these patients in 32 were find out associated hydrosyringomielia cysts. Most of patients in which intramedullary localization of tumor teamed up with presence of cysts component was related on destiny ependymomas, astrocytomas, hemangioblastomas. In majority of patients in postoperative period a neurulogic state went without changes or little improved in compare with preoperative period. Presence associated hydrosyringomielia cysts was beneficial prognosis factor. The operations necessary to take over solid part of intramedullary tumor with simultaneous drainage associated hydrosyringomielia cysts.
