    Author: Guarnieri G, Tecame M, Izzo R, Zeccolini F, Genovese L, Muto M.
    Journal: Neuroradiol J; 2014 Apr; 27(2):179-85. PubMed ID: 24750706.
    Abstract:
    Ependymoma has been described typically as an intramedullary tumour derived from ependymal cells with a predominance in women in the fifth decade of life. Pain is the most frequent symptom. Intradural extramedullary presentation is rarely described and almost always as a unique lesion. We describe a 53-year-old man with multi-segmental diffuse intradural extramedullary ependymoma with progressive lower leg hypoesthesia with regular motility. The patient's neurologic condition improved after surgery.
