Endometriosis involving the neural axis is extremely rare. A twenty-five-year-old woman presented with acute onset paraparesis with bladder involvement of five-day duration. We missed her history of cyclical back-ache related to menses at the emergency room. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of spinal cord showed an intramedullary tumour with bleeding at conus-epiconus level. She was operated in the emergency department with laminectomy-durotomy and tumour decompression. Histopathology of the tumour was suggested endometriosis.
累及神经轴的子宫内膜异位症极为罕见。一名25岁女性因急性发作的双下肢轻瘫并伴有膀胱受累症状达五天之久前来就诊。在急诊室时,我们忽略了她与月经相关的周期性背痛病史。脊髓磁共振成像(MRI)显示圆锥-圆锥上水平有一个髓内肿瘤伴出血。她在急诊科接受了椎板切除术-硬脊膜切开术及肿瘤减压手术。肿瘤的组织病理学检查提示为子宫内膜异位症。
