Clinical Applications of Epidermal Stem Cells

Clinical Applications of Epidermal Stem Cells

Epidermal stem cells (EpiSCs) are mainly located at the basal layer of the epidermis. These cells repair minor injuries of the skin and replace dead skin cells. However, EpiSCs’ cannot heal severe wounds such as major burns or those from diabetes or hereditary disorders. In such cases, culturing the epidermal stem cells from the patient is possible and has yielded successful treatment options, such as laboratory-grown skin grafts. These grafts are synthesized using a patient’s own EpiSCs...

Cranial and Spinal Meninges

Cranial and Spinal Meninges

The cranial and spinal meninges are complex protective structures surrounding the central nervous system (CNS), consisting of the brain and spinal cord. These meninges consist of the dura mater, the arachnoid mater, and the pia mater. They protect the CNS, provide structural support, and aid in circulating cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
Cranial Meninges
These meningeal layers cover the cranium. The dura mater is the outermost layer of cranial meninges. It is a thick and durable membrane of dense...

Herniated Intervertebral Disc l: Introduction

Herniated Intervertebral Disc l: Introduction

Intervertebral disc herniation refers to the displacement of the nucleus pulposus (the gel-like inner core of the disc) through a tear or weakened area in the annulus fibrosus (the outer fibrous ring). The displaced disc material extends beyond the normal boundaries of the disc space and may compress or irritate nearby spinal nerve roots or, less commonly, the spinal cord.Etiology and Risk FactorsHerniation commonly results from degeneration, in which aging reduces disc hydration and...

Journal of Surgical Oncology

|January 1, 1984

Summary

A rare intraspinal epidermoid cyst was found in the lumbo-sacral region of a man with congenital spina bifida occulta. This case highlights the importance of considering such cysts in spinal diagnostics.

Area of Science:

Neurosurgery
Spinal Medicine
Developmental Neurology

Background:

Congenital spina bifida occulta is a common spinal malformation.
Intraspinal epidermoid cysts are rare tumors, often congenital.
The lumbo-sacral region is a frequent site for spinal anomalies.

Observation:

A 38-year-old male presented with symptoms related to a lumbo-sacral intraspinal epidermoid cyst.
The patient had a known history of congenital spina bifida occulta.
Diagnostic imaging confirmed the presence of the epidermoid cyst.

Findings:

The case details the occurrence of an intraspinal epidermoid cyst in a patient with spina bifida occulta.
Review of existing literature on intraspinal epidermoid cysts was conducted.
