| Popis: | The dermoid tumors are benign tumors that emerge in different parts of the body. The spinal tumor is rare with different presentations. The study patient presented with complaints of recurrent meningitis and paraparesia with hypotonia and a bilateral extensor plantar reflex, which had started four months before. The lumbosacral MRI scan performed revealed an intradural and extramedullary mass located between L2 and s2 levels, and a sinus tract at the level of S1. The tumor mass was totally resected and the patient completely improved following the surgery. The case reported is a dermoid tumor presenting with recurrent meningitis, and the purpose of this report is to increase physicians’ awareness of the different presentations of this tumor. |
