[Follow-up study of XXXX of the spine].

@entity808 @entity1 @entity5 @entity1653 @entity2950 @entity912
A report is given on long-term results after the removal of spinal mengiomas and @entity808 . A total of 150 @entity1 with @entity1653 and 80 @entity1 with spinal @entity808 were operated on within a period of 25 years at the Neurosurgical Clinic in the Division Medicine of the Karl-Marx-University Leipzig. The primary results of the operations are secertained by a comparison of the preand portoperative ability to walk. Improvements were found in one third of all @entity1 after @entity1653 operations and in more than ten per cent of the @entity1 after removal of a @entity808 . The long-term rests were ascertained by means of questioning all @entity1 that could be contracted after 2 to 25 years, sending them a questionaire in the form of a reply card. The number of @entity1 who had become able to walk had doubles as compared with the condition before the operation: 56 per cent of all @entity1 after @entity1653 operations and 64 per cent of all @entity1 after removal of a spinal @entity808 . The long-term results have not been mainly influenced by the age of the @entity1 and by the duration of the anamnesis. The greatest threat for @entity1 with @entity5 are the misjudging of the disease and a certain loss of time when @entity912 was threatening. The prognosis in operations for relapses was considerably worse. So radical surgery in the first intervention must be attached the greatest importance. A tendency to infiltrations in case of @entity1653 , especially in juvenile @entity1 , and the overlooking of the smallest parts of extradural @entity5 in case of @entity2950 are frequent causes of the development of relapses and should be taken into account when carrying out the first ingervention.
