ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Meningiomas represent 1.5% to 4.3% of cerebral and medullar primary tumors in children. CASE REPORT A 9-year-old girl had a history of thoracolumbar scoliosis. An intracanalar and extramedullar tumor was confined to the lumbar region. Resection identified a clear cell meningioma. A symptomatic and tumoral recurrence occurred 5 months later in the same region. After a second resection, the patient received radiotherapy. At 8 months follow-up, no recurrence was documented.CONCLUSIONS:
A stiff and painful scoliosis can be predictive of expansive intracanalar tumor. The recurrent or multifocal evolution of clear cell meningioma show the "aggressive behavior" of this histological type. A preventive radiotherapy could be proposed, depending on the age of the patient and the localization of the tumor.
