Case Report Case age/Sex Symptoms Radiographic Findings Treatment Plan Outcome
Kim et al, 2000 [34] 49/F Seizure, facial palsy, left upper extremity weakness, paraparesis, hypesthesia below the T6 dermatome, urine incontinence IDEM mass between the T1 and T2 spinal levels Surgery and antituberculous drugs Paraparesis has improved, and urine function is normal
Muthukumar et al, 2006 [35]
14/F
Tonic-clonic seizure
Lesion in the spinal cord
T7-T12 Laminectomy
Power gradually increased during a three-month period
45/F
Numbness, sphincter problems, and lower extremity inability
T1-weighted scans show an isointense lesion spreading the cord, whereas T2-weighted images show hypointensity with a central region of hyperintensity.
T2-T5 Laminectomy
The patient’s neurological condition had not improved
Hristea et al, 2008 [36] 20/M Lower-limb weakness and disorientation Obliterated thoracic and lumbar subarachnoid space IV dexamethasone and intrathecal methylprednisolone when supported, walk
40/M Right-leg paresthesia, walking difficulties, and bladder incontinence Multiple intramedullary lesions at D4, D5—6, D8, D10, and D11 IV dexamethasone and intrathecal methylprednisolone The patient was able to walk without assistance, had modest sensory loss, moderate spasticity, and no sphincter problems
29/M Sensory loss, paresthesia, gradual lower limb weakness, and walking difficulties At T8-9, a solitary intramedullary mass suggests tuberculoma IV dexamethasone and intrathecal methylprednisolone The patient was able to walk on his own
Ding et al, 2012 [37]
63/M
Weak hands and arms neck and thoracic discomfort
A shuttle-like mass with low signal intensity extending from C2 to C4 in the posterior epidural region, an intraspinal extradural mass, and a compressed and edematous spinal cord
C2-C4 laminectomy was used to decompress the spinal cord and remove the tumor
The patient recovered completely neurologically
Verma et al, 2013 [38] 68/M Low back discomfort, left-sided lower-extremity weakness, and radiculopathy A lobulated enhancing intrathecal mass at L1 Bilateral laminectomy and medial facetectomy Reported minor discomfort, independent walking, and persistent weakness in just the left tibialis anterior muscle
Venkatesh et al, 2018 [39] 31/M Mid-backache with growing weakening of both lower limbs, urgent micturition T1 hypointense and T2 heterointense lesion seen posterior to the thoracic spinal cord, ranging from C7 to D5 vertebral levels D1-D5 laminectomy The patient showed normal bladder function and increased strength in both lower limbs (Grade 4-5)
