A nine-year-old boy presented with progressive paraparesis, hypesthesia, and urinary retention. Gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed multiple intradural enhancing lesions at T1 to T9 without evidence of intracranial tumors. He underwent partial resection of the lesions, and histology revealed an EST. He received chemotherapy, but 12 months after surgery, rapid tumor progression and intracranial metastases with obstructive hydrocephalus were detected. Following external ventricular drainage, the patient's condition rapidly deteriorated, and he ultimately died. EST should be considered when confronting a homogenously enhancing intradural tumor of the spine on post-contrast MRI. |
