An Unusual Cervical Spinal Meningioma in a Child

چکیده
The incidence of spinal meningioma is very rare in children. A 14-year-old girl presented with right arm weakness, gait disturbance, and urinary incontinence.

Meningotheliomatous meningioma was diagnosed after histological examination.

At the time of PET study the patient was symptomless...
