We present the case of a 14-year-old Malay girl with an ependymoma of the conus medullaris who presented to multiple general practitioner clinics with a 24-month history of chronic low back pain. The pain was symptomatically managed as a simple musculoskeletal pain and sciatica. Further imaging to aid diagnosis was delayed until the appearance of severe pain with neurological deficits. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed an enhancing spinal mass at L1 through L3, and histopathological investigations confirmed the grade II ependymoma according to the World Health Organization classification. She underwent gross resection of the tumor. After the surgery, she developed neurogenic urinary bladder and bowel, which required intermittent self-catheterization, intermittent enema use, and intensive physical therapy.
我们报告了一例14岁的马来女孩,患有圆锥马尾室管膜瘤,因慢性腰痛24个月,曾就诊于多家全科医生诊所。该疼痛被作为单纯的肌肉骨骼疼痛和坐骨神经痛进行对症治疗。进一步的影像学检查以辅助诊断被推迟,直到出现伴有神经功能缺损的剧痛。磁共振成像显示L1至L3水平有一个强化的脊髓肿块,组织病理学检查根据世界卫生组织分类确诊为II级室管膜瘤。她接受了肿瘤的大体切除。手术后,她出现了神经源性膀胱和肠道功能障碍,这需要间歇性自我导尿、间歇性使用灌肠剂以及强化物理治疗。
