Kn. Strommer et al., SYMPTOMATIC CEREBELLAR METASTASIS AND LATE LOCAL RECURRENCE OF A CAUDA-EQUINA PARAGANGLIOMA - CASE-REPORT, Journal of neurosurgery, 83(1), 1995, pp. 166-169
This case report contains a description of a 61-year-old patient who p
resented with a progressive truncal ataxia 22 years after complete rem
oval of a small paraganglioma of the cauda equina. Magnetic resonance
imaging of the neuraxis revealed a large cystic lesion in the cerebell
ar midline, three small cortical-to-subcortical nodular tumors in the
posterior fossa, and local recurrences of the paraganglioma of the cau
da equina. Pathological examination showed the cerebellar midline lesi
on to be a paraganglioma, most likely a metastasis from the cauda equi
na localization.
