In a newborn infant, spinal rigidity and signs of cervical cord compression developed. Myelography suggested the presence of a spinal cord neoplasm, and pathologic studies confirmed the diagnosis of a pleomorphic cellular sarcoma originating from the leptomeninges of the thoracic spinal cord. A review of neonatal spinal cord neoplasms disclosed a high incidence of developmental tumors in this age group and, therefore, the need for early diagnosis, since many of these tumors are amenable to radiation therapy and surgical removal.
在一名新生儿中，出现了脊柱僵硬和颈髓受压的体征。脊髓造影显示存在脊髓肿瘤，病理研究证实诊断为起源于胸段脊髓软脑膜的多形性细胞肉瘤。对新生儿脊髓肿瘤的回顾发现，该年龄组发育性肿瘤的发病率很高，因此需要早期诊断，因为这些肿瘤中的许多都适合放疗和手术切除。
