Los meningiomas son los tumores más frecuentes localizados a nivel espinal junto a neurinomas y metástasis. Estos tumores suelen ser intradurales y extramedular. Son pocos los casos descritos en la literatura con una localización puramente intramedular (menos de 10 casos) y frecuentemente se observan en la unión cráneo-cervical. Ante la presencia de un tumor intramedular, realizamos diagnósticos diferenciales con ependimomas, astrocitomas, etc. En este artículo presentamos el primer caso descrito en la literatura de un paciente con un meningioma tipo rabdoide exclusivamente intramedular a nivel del cono medular.
Meningiomas are the most frequent tumors located at the spinal level together with neurinomas and metastases. These tumors tend to be intradural and extramedullar. There are few cases described in the literature with a purely intramedullary location (less than 10 cases) and they are frequently observed in the union craneal-cervical. In the presence of an intramedullary tumor we perform differential diagnoses with ependymomas, astrocytomas... In this article we present the first case described in the literature of a patient with a rabdoid-type meningioma exclusively intramedullary at the level of the medullary cone.
