Summary
Large cauda equina paragangliomas, rare neuroendocrine tumors, present surgical challenges due to size and spinal involvement. Complete resection and spinal stabilization are recommended for optimal outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Neurosurgery
- Neuro-oncology
- Spinal Surgery
Background:
- Cauda equina paragangliomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors.
- Large tumors with intradural/extradural components pose significant surgical difficulty.
- Tumor vascularity and adherence to nerve roots complicate dissection.
