Abstract
|
|
|
|
Paragangliomas can generally develop at various body sites, but spinal paragangliomas are rare cases in which radiculopathy occurs in the lumbar lesion. We evaluated 2 cases of intradural extramedullary tumor associated with gait disturbance and radiating pain in both lower extremities. We performed surgical resection and biopsy of the masses. Although our first impression was schwannoma for one and ependymoma for the other, pathologic diagnosis was paraganglioma for each. Symptoms were relieved after surgery.
