Abstract:
We report the case of a 16 year old male with a left temporal myxopapillary ependymoma which did not demonstrate any connection to the lateral ventricles. The patient had complained of headaches for ten months and signs of increased intracranial pressure for one month. One month post-operatively, because of lower back pain, further investigations disclosed two separate intraspinal myxopapillary ependymomas, one at T12-L1 level and the other at L5-S1 level. It is postulated that the cerebral myxopapillary ependymoma was in fact a secondary from one of the spinal cord tumors. There are only three reports of this type of ependymoma in the cerebrum.
