    Author: Degirmenci E.
    Journal: Ideggyogy Sz; 2012 Sep 30; 65(9-10):342-4. PubMed ID: 23126220.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: In this paper, we report a coexistence of multiple sclerosis and an intradural spinal cord tumor. CASE REPORT: A 34-year-old woman who had a history of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis for the last 15-years presented with acute sensory loss and spasticity in her left lower limb and her spinal magnetic resonance imaging study revealed an intradural spinal cord tumor in the lumbar spine, further diagnosed as ependymoma. CONCLUSION: We call attention to this rare association of MS and a spinal cord tumor, emphasizing the need for investigation of new symptoms during the evolution of MS.
