“…We presented here a rare case of a 26-year-old woman with a ruptured myxopapillary ependymoma and accompanying hemorrhage that expanded from the L1 body to the L2-3 disc level. A review of the English literature revealed only 12 reports describing 15 cases of acute neurological decline caused by hemorrhage from myxopapillary ependymoma of the filum terminale or conus medullaris (Table 1) (7,8,(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21). Clear descriptions of the tumors or MRI findings were documented in only 8 of these cases.…”

We present a rare case of acute onset cauda equina syndrome caused by a ruptured myxopapillary ependymoma with accompanying hemorrhage. A 26-year-old healthy woman developed muscle weakness and sensory disturbances in her bilateral lower extremities. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a huge mass from the L1 body to the L2-3 disc level. She was able to ambulate with crutches after the tumor was successfully removed. To prevent recurrence, she received whole brain and spinal cord radiation. No sing of recurrence were detected at the 8 month follow up.

Intratumoral hemorrhage within a myxopapillary ependymoma of the conus medullaris and cauda equina is rare. Most patients with myxopapillary ependymoma present insidiously, but they may present with hemorrhage or cauda equina syndrome. Limited number of case reports available has described this condition only in adult patients. We report our experience with intratumoral hemorrhage of myxopapillary ependymoma of the conus medullaris during weight lifting in a 15-year-old boy.
