Spinal Cord: Cross-sectional Anatomy

The cross-sectional anatomy of the spinal cord offers a detailed view of its complex structure and function within the central nervous system. At the core of the spinal cord lies the gray matter, characterized by its butterfly or "H"-shaped appearance in cross-section. This central region is enveloped by white matter, with the overall structure divided into symmetrical halves by the dorsal median sulcus and the ventral median fissure.
Gray Matter and its Components
Central to the gray matter is...

This study reports the first known case of a presacral hibernoma, a rare benign brown fat tumor. Preoperative embolization was used for this highly vascular tumor.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Hibernoma is a rare, benign tumor originating from brown adipose tissue.
  • Typically found in fetal locations like the neck, axilla, thorax, and extremities.
  • Retroperitoneal hibernomas are exceptionally rare presentations.

Observation:

  • Presents an extremely rare case of a presacral hibernoma.
  • The highly vascular nature of the tumor necessitated preoperative embolization.

Findings:

  • This case represents the first documented instance of a presacral hibernoma in English literature.
  • Successfully managed a rare hibernoma presentation with preoperative embolization.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of considering rare tumor locations in differential diagnoses.
