Tóm tắt

An 8-year-old girl was admitted with four limb weakness for 2 months. Hyperactive reflexes were observed in all four limbs, and positive Hoffmann's signs were revealed. An MRI spine with the coronal slide detected two tumors, first in the intradural and intramedullary space at the C2-C4 level and the second in the intradural and extramedullary space at the C5-C7 level. Axial T1W contrast MRI brain showed a tumor in the left parietal region. The patient underwent spine surgery first and following by brain surgery. No invasive lesions were remarked during surgery. Histological findings showed meningothelial meningioma and ependymoma from the spine and rhabdoid meningioma from the brain. Two months after the second surgery, the patient recovered fully with no symptoms and was able to participate in all regular activities in life. This work is the first report of a mixed tumor with distinct spinal meningioma and ependymoma components occurring in the cervical spinal cord at the C2-C7 level and coexisting with cranial meningioma. The remarkable result was that the patient fully recovered without any symptoms after receiving two surgeries.
