Abstract

A 51-year-old man underwent surgery for C2–C4 low-grade ependymoma in 2005 with complete removal of tumor. Postoperative meningitis occurred, which healed and the patient returned to normal. In 2008, the neurologic examination was normal, and magnetic resonance image showed no tumor recurrence. Since 2010, the patient presented distal paresthesias of the limbs and then progressive tetraparesis. Neurologic examination on admission in 2012 disclosed spastic tetraparesis with impossibility of standing and walking.
