A case of a mature posterior cervical teratoma resembling two fingers and a case of a lumbosacral limb are presented. These are at least the seventh and eighth reported paraspinous or occipital teratomas with recognizable extremity development. Both anomalies had intradural extension and required exploration to decrease the likelihood of future spinal cord tethering. Preoperative evaluation, surgical technique, postoperative follow-up, and review of the literature are presented.
本文报告了一例形似两根手指的成熟型颈后畸胎瘤及一例腰骶部肢体畸胎瘤。这些至少是第七例和第八例有可识别的肢体发育的脊柱旁或枕部畸胎瘤报告。这两种畸形均有硬膜内延伸，需要进行探查以降低未来脊髓拴系的可能性。文中介绍了术前评估、手术技术、术后随访及文献复习情况。
