We present a case of a 13-year-old boy with abdominal pain initially misdiagnosed as gastrointestinal in origin. Despite initial outpatient management, his symptoms rapidly deteriorated, revealing a central-medullary cavernous malformation causing spinal cord compression. This case underscores the importance of a comprehensive pediatric examination and highlights new treatment approaches for spinal cavernous malformations.
我们报告一例13岁男孩,最初因腹痛被误诊为胃肠道疾病。尽管最初进行了门诊治疗,但其症状迅速恶化,结果发现是中央髓内海绵状血管畸形导致脊髓受压。该病例强调了全面儿科检查的重要性,并突出了脊髓海绵状血管畸形的新治疗方法。
