| Abstract | INTRADURAL EXTRAMEDULLARY ANAPLASTIC EPENDYMOMA WITH PRESUMED DROP METASTASIS
M. Schuurmans, J. A. L. Vanneste, M. J. T. Verstegen, W. R. van Furth.Department of Neurology, Sint Lucas Andreas Ziekenhuis, Amsterdam, The Netherlands; Department of Neurosurgery, Academic Medical Centre, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands
The authors describe a 29 year old woman who presented with progressive neck pain and weakness in both arms. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the cervical spine revealed a tumour compressing the spinal cord. During surgery an intradural extramedullary tumour was found. Unexpectedly, further imaging showed a second lumbar tumour. Microscopy of both tumours was consistent with anaplastic ependymoma, which is very rare at the spinal level. We hypothesise that the lumbar anaplastic ependymoma was possibly a drop metastasis of the cervical ependymoma. |
