Pathologically, the exudate tends to localize by gravity along the dorsal
surface of the lower thoracic spinal cord (Figure 3.19). It mainly consists of
neutrophils for the first few days, after which time lymphocytes and fibrin
appear.Afteraweek,microglialcellswithintheunderlyingparenchymabeginto

OtherBacterialInfections
Tuberculosis of the spine may lead to vertebral body collapse, usually in the
thoracicor lumbarregion. Chronicepiduralabscess formationmayalso occur.
Tuberculousspinal meningitis is virtually always associated with concomitant
intracranialinfection.
Tabes dorsalis represents the classical spinal form of neurosyphilis and is
rarely seen today. The lumbosacral region is most frequently affected.
Pathologically, there is degeneration of the dorsal root ganglia, dorsal spinal

roots, and posterior columns (Figure3.20), without evidence of infiltration by
inflammatory cells or stainable microorganisms. The pathogenesis of this
conditionisnotunderstood.
ViralInfectionsoftheSpinalCord
Many viral agents are capable of producing myelitis. Only few have been
describedhere.

Poliovirus is a single-stranded RNAenterovirus that, on the rareoccasion
when symptomatic CNS involvement occurs, tends to damage spinal anterior
horn cells and other motor neurons, presumably because they bear relatively
largenumbersofviralsurfacereceptors.Histologically,intheactivephaseofthe
disease, the affected areas show the presence of many pleomorphic microglia
with evidence of neuronophagia. At later stages, there is striking focal tissue
pallor(Figure3.21) withnerve cell loss and astrocytosis andshrinkage of the
ventralspinalroots.
West Nile virus, a culex mosquito-borne member of the flavivirus
phylogenetic group, is harbored in birds but is capable of infecting many

patients will develop a poliomyelitis-like syndrome characterized by flaccid
paralysis; in such cases, spinal anteriorhorn pathology is strikingly similar to
thatobservedwithpoliovirusinfection(55).

NEOPLASMSWITHINTHESPINALCANAL
Although virtually any neoplasm that occurs within the cranial cavity can be
seen within the spinal canal, the most common spinal neoplasms are nerve

sheath tumors and meningiomas (which are extramedullary and intradural),
ependymomas and astrocytomas, (which are intramedullary), and secondary
(metastatic) tumors (which are more commonly extramedullary but may be
intramedullary)(57–59).
Nerve sheath tumors are of two types: schwannomas and neurofibromas.
Schwannomas,whichaccountforroughly30%ofprimaryspinalneoplasms,are
benign and tend to occur at and below lumbar regions. When multiple, they
should raise the suspicion that type 2 neurofibromatosis (NF-2 or “central”
neurofibromatosis) may be present. These sharply circumscribed extra-axial
neoplasms,two-thirdsofwhichareextradural,areusuallysituatedwithindorsal
spinal nerve roots (Figure 3.23). They are composed of spindle-shaped cells
arranged in interlacing fascicles and typically show both compact (Antoni A)
andloose-meshed (Antoni B) areas with nuclear palisading and Verocay body
formation, nuclear atypia, vascular hyalinization, and immunoreactivity for S100protein.
FIGURE3.23Schwannomaaffectingaspinalnerveroot.
Neurofibromas, which are also of Schwann cell origin, account for about
25% of primary spinal neoplasms. These benign tumors are typically
encounteredwithintheintraduralportionsofdorsalspinalnerveroots.Theyare

usually solitary and, when seen multiply, should raise the suspicion that the
patientmay be sufferingfrom type 1 neurofibromatosis (NF-1 or “peripheral”
neurofibromatosis).Pathologically,thesefusiformlesionstendtoseparaterather
than displace nerve fibers. Typically, they are composed of spindle-shaped or
stellatecells in a loose connective tissuematrixand, like schwannomas, show
immunoreactivityforS-100protein.
Meningiomas, which account for approximately 25% of primary spinal
neoplasms, are benign intradural lesions that are most commonly observed at
thoracic levels (Figure 3.24). Roughly 80% of affected subjects are women.
When meningiomas occur multiply, the possibility of NF-2 should be
considered. Pathologically, these tumors, which are of arachnoidal cell origin,
are composed of uniform, process-bearing cells with abundant cytoplasm and
roundtoovalvesicularnuclei,withatendencytowardwhorlingandpsammoma
bodyformation.
Ependymomas are low-grade glial neoplasms that are observed most
frequently within the cauda equina and the lumbosacral region. The most
commonsiteoforiginisthefilumterminale(Figure3.25),presumablybecause
of the presence of residual nests of cells left by the embryonic ventriculus
terminalis.Ependymomasarewellcircumscribedlesionscomposedofprocessbearing cells with uniform vesicular nuclei, a tendency toward perivascular
pseudorosetteformation,and,occasionally,thepresenceofependymalrosettes.

Some80% to 85% of spinal astrocytomasarise in the cervical or thoracic
regions. These infiltrative neoplasms are typically associated with fusiform
enlargementofthe spinalcord andare composedof stellateor spindle-shaped,

process-bearing cells with rounded or oval vesicular nuclei that show
immunoreactivity for glial fibrillary acidic protein. Higher-grade neoplasms
show a greater degree of nuclear pleomorphism with a higher proliferation
index,evidenceofvascularhyperplasiaandtumornecrosis.
Metastasesproduce symptomaticspinal corddysfunction usuallyfollowing
involvementof the vertebral column, especially in the thoracicregion.Rarely,
metastasis may develop within the spinal leptomeninges or within the spinal
cordparenchyma(Figure3.26).Lungisthemostcommonprimarysiteinboth

with hemorrhagic extravasation (Figure 3.27). This finding, coupled with
experimental evidence, suggests that spinal cord damage associated with
vertebral/epidural metastatic disease is attributable largely to epidural venous
obstruction(60).
