Abstract

Although the incidence of spinal meningiomas among pediatric spinal tumors is quite low, at 4.3%, it should be kept in mind in differential diagnosis as it can mimic metastatic masses. In this case report, a 9-year-old male patient with cervical meningioma with complaints of post-traumatic pain spreading to the neck and left shoulder, weakness in the left arm was reported. The gold standard in treatment is surgical resection.

Özet

Pediatrik spinal tümörler içerisinde spinal meningiomların görülme sıklığı %4,3 gibi oldukça düşük oran olmasına rağmen metastatik kitlele-ri taklit edebildiğinden ayırıcı tanıda mutlaka akılda tutulmalıdır. Bu olgu sunumunda, travma sonrası başlayan boyun ve sol omuza yayılan ağrı, sol kolunda güçsüzlük şikâyeti olan ve servikal meningiom saptanan 9 yaşında erkek hasta bildirilmiştir. Tedavide altın standart cerrahi rezeksiyondur.
