    A young girl developed multiple spinal meningiomas, which are tumors of the spinal cord lining. She successfully underwent surgical removal of two separate tumors without signs of neurofibromatosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Spinal meningiomas are tumors arising from the meninges, the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord.
    • While often associated with neurofibromatosis, meningiomas can occur sporadically.
    • Multiple meningiomas are rare, particularly in pediatric cases without genetic predisposition.

    Observation:

    • A case report details a pediatric patient presenting with multiple spinal meningiomas.
    • The patient had no clinical or diagnostic evidence of neurofibromatosis (NF).
    • The initial tumor was an intradural meningioma in the lower lumbar spine, surgically removed at age eight.

    Findings:

    • A second, distinct intradural meningioma was identified in the upper lumbar spine.
    • The patient remained asymptomatic for five years between the two surgical interventions.

  • Complete surgical excision was achieved for both spinal meningiomas.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the possibility of multiple spinal meningiomas in the absence of neurofibromatosis.
    • It underscores the importance of vigilant follow-up for patients with spinal tumors.
    • The successful surgical management of sequential meningiomas in a pediatric patient is demonstrated.
