[Thoracic medullary epidermoid cyst. Apropos of a case with MRI and review of the literature].
We report the case of a 14 year-old patient presenting with a thoracic spinal cord compressing syndrome (T5-T6). The myelography and magnetic resonance imaging showed an intramedullary cystic mass. One year after the surgical excision of the capsule and an easy aspiration of the tumoral content, this patient had a good neurological recovery.
