Thoracic Extradural Psammomatous Meningioma on T6–T8: A Case Report and Literature Review

Tumors of the spine are rare, with an incidence of 1.0 and 1.5 per 100,000 individuals. A 44-year-old female patient underwent emergency surgery for posterior decompression and tumor resection. A 3-level laminectomy was performed from T6 to T8 using the Medtronic Midas Rex drill and a 5 mm diamond d...

Zusammenfassung:Tumors of the spine are rare, with an incidence of 1.0 and 1.5 per 100,000 individuals. A 44-year-old female patient underwent emergency surgery for posterior decompression and tumor resection. A 3-level laminectomy was performed from T6 to T8 using the Medtronic Midas Rex drill and a 5 mm diamond drill, with microsurgical resection of the lesion. A new resection was performed one week later to address a residual tumor located towards the rostral and cephalic levels. A sample of the extradural lesion was obtained and was sent to the Pathology Department of the Hospital Regional de Alta Especialidad de Ixtapaluca (HRAEI) for histopathological diagnosis, reporting Grade 1 psammomatous meningioma according to the WHO’s criteria. Our patient’s rehabilitation treatment consisted of two parts. The first part occurred during her hospital stay, before and after surgery, and upon her discharge. At the first outpatient consultation three weeks after surgery, the patient showed improved strength in the lower extremities, scoring 4/5 on the Daniel’s scale muscle strength test. After one year of follow-up, our patient has recovered muscle strength. This allows her to move freely, scoring 5/5 on the Daniel’s scale muscle strength test.
