Abstract
Burkitt lymphoma is the most frequent non-Hodgkin lymphoma in children and adolescents. The disease can involve all organs, although spinal cord involvement in the Burkitt lymphoma is exceptional and only a few cases are reported. We report a case of Burkitt lymphoma revealing by spinal cord compression in a 4-year-old patient. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the spine revealed a mass in the spinal intradural extramedullary space with severe spinal canal stenosis in T6-T9. Neuromeningeal involvement in Burkitt's lymphoma often represents a secondary location and defines an advanced stage of the disease. The child responded well to chemotherapy and is on remission.
