ABSTRACT
We report a rare case of primary intradural extramedullary myxopapillary ependymoma of the spinal cord. A 45-year-old woman was admitted to the author's institution with a history of progressive paraparesis(grade IV/IV) with back pain. Neurologic examination revealed decreased sensation below T12 sensory dermatome level. Magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) revealed an intermediate enhanced intradural extramedullary tumor extending from T12. Total resection of the tumor was achieved by T12 laminectomy. Intraoperatively, there was no finding of attachment to rootlet and dura. Histopathological examination identified the tumor as a myxopaillary ependymoma. To the best of my knowledge, this is the first reported case of primary intradural extramedullary ependymoma in Korea.
Key Words: Intradural extramedullary; Myxopapillary ependymoma
