Multiple spinal meningiomas are rare, but this case highlights their diagnosis and successful surgical treatment. Early detection using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) led to a full recovery for the patient.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Oncology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Multiple spinal meningiomas are uncommon, representing 2-3.5% of all spinal meningiomas.
  • This report details a rare case of multiple thoracic spinal meningiomas.

Observation:

  • A 77-year-old woman presented with progressive paraparesis, sensory disturbances, and incontinence.
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed two intradural extramedullary lesions at T9 and T12 with differing intensities.

Findings:

  • Histopathology confirmed psammomatous meningiomas in both resected tumors.
  • The patient had no signs of von Recklinghausen's disease.

Implications:

  • MRI is crucial for diagnosing spinal tumors, particularly multiple spinal meningiomas.

  • Varying MRI signal intensities may indicate different tumor compositions.
  • Surgical resection resulted in a significant functional recovery, enabling the patient to walk unaided within three months.
