Secondary extradural spinal manifestation of esthesioneuroblastoma

Abstract

Secondary spinal manifestations of esthesioneuroblastoma are rare. A 67-year-old woman was presented with an extradural spinal manifestation at the vertebra Th7 within 8 weeks after resection of an esthesioneuroblastoma. Subtotal removal of the epidural tumour was achieved combined with dorsal transpedicular stabilization. Early screening for distant metastases may be considered in patients with esthesioneuroblastoma.
