  • Title: Spinal compression syndromes caused by intradural foreign body.
    Author: Braunsdorf WE, Ellams ID.
    Journal: Neurochirurgia (Stuttg); 1987 Jul; 30(4):123-4. PubMed ID: 3614488.
    Abstract:
    Two patients underwent continuous lumbar cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage during craniotomy. In one patient a pituitary adenoma was extirpated through a transnasal trans-sphenoidal approach and the other had a frontal craniotomy for extirpation of an a-v malformation. In these two cases the catheters for the CSF drainage disappeared partly and were forgotten within the spinal canal. These patients were later admitted for spinal cord compression syndromes.
