Diagnostics of intradural extramedullary tumor of the thoracic spine in the practice of a neurologist and neurosurgeon: a clinical case

Abstract

Intradural meningiomas account for 25 % to 46 % of all primary spinal tumors. For intradural extramedullary formations, ascending disturbances of sensitivity are characteristic; the boundaries are determined by the level of tumor lesions of the spinal cord and the degree of involvement of the spinal cord diameter. With the destruction of motor fibers in the anterior or lateral columns of the spinal cord, conductive motor lesions occur, localized below the level of the lesion. Prolonged asymptomatic course of the disease, the gradual development of clinical symptoms can lead to an untimely diagnosis. Taking into account the urgency of the problem, the frequency of occurrence and certain difficulties of primary clinical diagnosis, we present a description of a clinical case of a patient with an intradural extramedullary formation of the thoracic spine.
