An unusual spinal meningioma in a child: case report.
Meningiomas seldom occur in children, and spinal meningioma in a child is rare. We report the case of a boy, 3 years and 5 months of age, who had an unusual atypical meningioma involving the subarachnoid space from T-2 to the cauda equina. To our knowledge, no similar case has been reported previously.
