Intramedullary spinal teratomas are rare. We report a case in a 40-year-male who presented with progressive weakness over the right side of the body and gait imbalance. He had dermal sinus with hair patch over nape of the neck. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed cervical (C4-C7) intramedullary tumor with dermal sinus tract. C3-C7 laminectomy was performed and tumor excised along with the sinus tract. Histopathological examination revealed mature cystic teratoma. Gait ataxia was improved immediately while near complete recovery in motor power was achieved over a period of 2-3 weeks.
脊髓髓内畸胎瘤很罕见。我们报告一例40岁男性病例，该患者出现身体右侧进行性无力和步态失衡。他在颈后部有伴有毛发斑块的皮样窦道。磁共振成像显示颈椎（C4 - C7）髓内肿瘤伴有皮样窦道。进行了C3 - C7椎板切除术，并连同窦道一起切除肿瘤。组织病理学检查显示为成熟囊性畸胎瘤。步态共济失调立即得到改善，而运动力量在2至3周内接近完全恢复。
