Abstract

Spinal dissemination of intracranial ependymomas through cerebrospinal pathways is not rare and reported to occur in approximately 10% of the cases. However, the reverse is an uncommon phenomenon. We report two children who were initially treated for spinal ependymoma but presented later with multiple intracranial metastases.
