Meningioma intramedular tipo rabdoide. Reporte de un caso y revisión de la literatura / Rhabdoid type intramedullary meningioma. A case report and review of the literature

Los meningiomas son los tumores más frecuentes localizados a nivel espinal junto a neurinomas y metástasis. Estos tumores suelen ser intradurales y extramedular. Son pocos los casos descritos en la literatura con una localización puramente intramedular (menos de 10 casos) y frecuentemente se observan en la unión cráneo-cervical. Ante la presencia de un tumor intramedular, realizamos diagnósticos diferenciales con ependimomas, astrocitomas, etc. En este artículo presentamos el primer caso descrito en la literatura de un paciente con un meningioma tipo rabdoide exclusivamente intramedular a nivel del cono medular
