Hypovolemia
Intradialytic hypovolemia is a common complication of hemodialysis treatments. Blood volume changes that occur during dialysis can be followed by on-line optical sensing of the patient's hematocrit. Characteristic curves of blood volume changes can be seen in fluid overloaded patients with symptoms of hypovolemia, i.e.[…][ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Liquorrhoea
Abstract Ninety-two radionuclide cisternographies were performed on 88 patients with suspected nasal liquorrhoea. To identify fistulae of both traumatic and non-traumatic aetiology, 40 MBq of 169Yb-EDTA was injected to a total volume of 2 ml into the subarachnoid space usually by the cisternal route, but in some[…][ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Hematomyelia
A 34-year-old woman with Factor XI deficiency presented with rapidly progressive quadriplegia following a 1-week prodrome of cervical pain. At operation, a spontaneous hematomyelia was evacuated from the C4-6 vertebral level. The pathophysiology of spontaneous hematomyelia is discussed.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Spinal Cord Compression
This systematic review describes the diagnosis and management of adult patients with a suspected or confirmed diagnosis of extradural malignant spinal cord compression (MSCC).

Spinal Cord Metastasis
Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is a rare but well-recognized malignant soft tissue sarcoma of smooth muscle origin. Metastases commonly occur in the lungs, liver, kidney, brain, and bone. Cases of metastatic osseous lesions or other extradural space-occupying masses secondary to LMS leading to neurologic compromise are[…][ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
