Multisegmental Diffuse Intradural Extramedullary Ependymoma An Extremely Rare Case

2014 
Ependymoma has been described typically as an intramedullary tumour derived from ependymal cells with a predominance in women in the fifth decade of life. Pain is the most frequent symptom. Intradural extramedullary presentation is rarely described and almost always as a unique lesion. We describe a 53-year-old man with multi-segmental diffuse intradural extramedullary ependymoma with progressive lower leg hypoesthesia with regular motility. The patient's neurologic condition improved after surgery.
