Non-Enhancing Intradural Extramedullary Ependymoma: A Case Report.

Published in: Taehan Yongsang Uihakhoe chi (2021)

Spinal ependymomas are generally located in the intramedullary compartment in adults. Intradural extramedullary spinal ependymomas are extremely rare. Spinal ependymomas show various contrast enhancements on MRI. In this study, we report a rare case of a 52-year-old female who had a pathologically confirmed intradural extramedullary ependymoma that showed no enhancement on MRI.
