ABSTRACT
Lumbar paragangliomas are rare neuroendocrine neoplasms arising from specialized neural crest cells in the cauda equina/filum terminale region. They are difficult to diagnose radiologically and can be difficult to treat surgically if they secrete catecholamines. A 38-year-old woman presented with three and a half years of increasing lower back and sacrum discomfort. Her neurological examination was normal. The MRI revealed an L4 intradural lesion that was compressing the cauda equina. A total tumor resection was conducted. The paraganglioma was diagnosed by the pathology report. Paragangliomas should be considered in the differential diagnosis of intradural masses of the lumbar spine.
