A woman in her early 20s presented with progressive low back pain, leg weakness and sphincter dysfunction. MRI revealed a 5 × 1.5 cm intramedullary tumour at the T12-L2 level. Elevated preoperative beta-human chorionic gonadotropin levels were noted. Surgical excision confirmed the diagnosis of a germinoma. Postoperative MRI showed no additional lesions. The patient underwent localized radiation therapy, but recurrence was noted 10 months later.
