Multiple spinal meningiomas in children

Abstract

A case of a girl with multiple spinal meningiomas, without evidence of neurofibromatosis, is described. The patient first underwent the complete removal of an intradural tumour at the lower lumbar level, at the age of eight year. A second intradural meningioma, located at the upper lumbar level, was surgically excised after a five year symptom-free period.
