Recurrent Spinal Meningioma: A Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Meningiomas are the second most common intradural spinal tumors accounting for 25% of all spinal tumors. Being a slow growing and invariably benign tumor, it responds favorably to surgical excision. In addition, spinal meningioma has low recurrence rates. However, we experienced a case of intradural extramedullary spinal meningioma which recurred 16 years after the initial surgery on a 64-year-old woman. She presented with progressive neurological symptoms and had a surgical history of removal of thoracic spinal meningioma 16 years ago due to bilateral low leg weakness. She underwent a second operation at the same site and a pale yellowish tumor was excised, which was histopathologically confirmed as meningothelial meningioma, compared with previously transitional type. she showed neurological recovery after the operation. We, therefore, report the good results of this recurrent intradural spinal meningioma case developed after 16 years with literature review.
