The numbness of the lower limbs, accompanied by unstable standing, is the scourge of a huge dumbbell-like tumor.

Ms. Kang, 57, was numb to her lower limbs, low back pain, and then slowly developed to stand unstable, the local hospital MRI showed that there is a huge tumor inside and outside her vertebral tube, dumbbell-shaped, has grown to the chest cavity, about 8 cm long, the original finger thick spine because of pressure has become as thin as paper, so she came to the Southern Medical University Third Affiliated Hospital (here is "Southern Medical Hospital").
two years ago, Ms. Kang accidentally felt numb to the end of her left toe, and then gradually walked erred, and her lower right limb began to feel hemp, thinking it was caused by fatigue and not paying attention.
half a year after the symptoms are getting more and more serious, walking when the feet seem to step on cotton, and then the wall is not stable, life can not take care of themselves.
After being introduced by a friend, Ms. Kang came to the second department of spinal surgery in the Third Hospital of Southern Medicine, and from her MRI image, serious placeholding changes occurred inside and outside the vertebral tube in sections 8 to 10 of her thoracic vertebrae.
symptoms, the deputy director of Qiu Qiu was initially diagnosed with neuroblastoma.
" the dumbbell-like tumor fills almost all of the vertebral tube and grows along the intervertebral hole to the outer chest cavity.
serious illness, need surgery as soon as possible, otherwise you may face a high risk of paraplegia.
" after multi-department consultation and adequate preoperative preparation, spinal surgery department II joint trauma treatment center for patients to accurately remove the internal and external tumors of the vertebral tube.
whole hemp, Qiu Qiu deputy director of the team of physicians like an adventure, carefully cut open the skin, off the skin tissue, remove the hard vertebral plate, reveal the corresponding section of the vertebral tube epidural sac.
by the trauma treatment center Wei Dayian deputy director of the doctor under the microscope cut the epidural, fine removal of the tumor in the epidural, to maximize the protection of its nerve function, fully stop the bleeding decompression, by the spine two sections continue to relay, the back road to remove the chest 9, chest 10 two sections of about 7-8 cm ribs, non-stop peeling and completely remove the tumor, and then restore the original structure.
Because the tumor part is closely bonded to the spinal nerve root, in order not to damage the nerve, doctors under the surgical microscope must carefully separate the adhesive nerve root and tumor one by one, after 6 hours, the tumor will eventually be completely removed, the operation was a complete success.
after the operation, Ms. Kang's lower limbs were in good condition and she soon recovered and was discharged from the hospital and returned to normal life.
main symptoms of neuroblastoma are pain, sensory abnormalities, dysfunction, because the tumor growth location is different, the pain site is not the same.
with the development of tumors, will seriously squeeze the spinal cord nerve, resulting in weakness in the lower extremities, paralysis, urination dysfunction and so on.
X-ray examination of early neuroblastoma is not easy to find, coupled with clinical symptoms and lumbar symptoms caused by lumbar disc protrusion is very similar, many patients do not pay much attention.
Qiu warned that when persistent back pain can not find a clear cause, should be early to the hospital to do an MRI examination can be clearly diagnosed.
When there is dizziness, lower back and leg pain, numb limbs, weak lower limbs, symptoms gradually serious, difficult to alleviate, nighttime exacerbation and other similar symptoms, it is recommended to go to the regular hospital in a timely manner.
improve the relevant examination to identify the cause, carry out treatment, delay the serious illness may lead to paralysis.
