Abstract

BACKGROUND: 10-segments intramedullary tumors are rare lesions in adults.

CASE DESCRIPTION: In this report, we describe the case of one 30-year-old woman who presented with a 2-year history of right lower limb numbness. Spinal magnetic resonance imaging of the patient showed an expansive 10-segments intramedullary lesion and following syringomyelia. The final pathological tests confirmed World Health Organization grade II ependymoma. She received a successful gross-total tumorectomy with no obvious surgical related complication left. The postoperative recovery is far beyond our expectations.
