Area of Science:

  • Neuro-oncology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Myxopapillary ependymoma (MPE) is a rare, slow-growing glial tumor originating from the filum terminale.
  • Intradural spinal masses require accurate imaging for diagnosis and surgical planning.

Observation:

  • A 48-year-old male presented with lower back pain and urinary incontinence.
  • Diagnostic imaging revealed an intradural mass consistent with MPE.

Findings:

  • The patient was diagnosed with a WHO grade II Myxopapillary ependymoma.
  • Comprehensive review of MPE imaging characteristics, histopathology, treatment, and prognosis included.

Implications:

  • Accurate diagnosis of MPE through imaging is crucial for appropriate management.
