  • Title: Cauda equina syndrome caused by spontaneous bleeding in the filum terminale myxopapillary ependymoma: a rare pediatric case.
    Author: Becco de Souza R, Brasileiro de Aguiar G, Saade N, Esteves Veiga JC.
    Journal: Pediatr Neurosurg; 2012; 48(6):385-8. PubMed ID: 23989086.
    Abstract:
    The majority of the filum terminale ependymomas are of the myxopapillary type, which most commonly present as lumbago or sciatic pain, an insidious clinical condition, at times accompanied by paraparesis, bladder paresis and vesical alterations. We report the case of a 13-year-old patient who presented with acute cauda equina. He underwent total resection of the lesion, which resulted in progressive improvement. The clinical conditions, diagnoses and treatments of the medullary cone and cauda equina myxopapillary ependymomas are also discussed.
