Intradural spinal meningioma in a 20-month-old female.

Meningiomas in children account for less than 2% of all meningiomas, and their location in the spinal region is even less common. The authors present a case of a 20-month-old female who presented with lumbar back pain, neurogenic bladder and progressive paraparesis 6 months after she started to walk. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated an intradural extramedullary neoplasm extending from the tenth thoracic vertebra to the third lumbar vertebra.
