Grade III intradural extramedullary anaplastic ependymoma managed with near-complete resection and adjuvant radiotherapy: a case report.

Because of their rarity, there are no clear treatment or adjuvant therapy guidelines for spinal anaplastic ependymoma. Adjuvant radiotherapy to the whole brain and spinal cord was necessarily indicated after near-total resection. Although the patient's condition has not recurred 1 year after surgery, careful and serial follow-up is necessary for this individual.
