BackgroundTen-segment intramedullary tumors are rare lesions in adults.Case DescriptionIn this report, we describe the case of a 30-year-old woman who presented with a 2-year history of right lower limb numbness. Spinal magnetic resonance imaging showed an expansive 10-segment intramedullary lesion and syringomyelia. The final pathologic tests confirmed World Health Organization grade II ependymoma. She received a successful gross total tumorectomy with no obvious surgical-related complications.ConclusionsThe postoperative recovery is far beyond our expectations.Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Inc.
