ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Spinal meningiomas coexisting with schwannomas in patients without neurofibromatosis are extremely rare lesions. There were only 15 cases reported to date, which were concurrent intradural tumors of different pathological types. CASE PRESENTATION Herein, we present a rare case of a 15-year-old child with concurrent spinal dorsal meningioma and ventral giant invasive schwannoma at C7-T3 and T10-S5 spinal levels. Preoperative magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography indicated the schwannoma across the thoracic and lumbosacral transitional vertebra, with extensive bony erosion of the sacrum. The results of surgical resection were mostly satisfactory.CONCLUSIONS:
The present case is the youngest patient diagnosed with concurrent intradural tumors at different spinal levels. The pathogenetic mechanism remains unclear. The clinical presentations are always atypical. Surgical resection of the tumors is the first choice. We use the non-fusion surgery to preserve the function of the lumbar spine.Palavras-chave
