Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 6
Abstract
:Paraganglioma is a neuroendocrine tumour arising from non chromaffin paraganglion cells anywhere in the body. Most common site is adrenal gland. In central nervous system, they are found at petrous ridge, pineal gland, sella turcicia and spine. In the spine, cauda equine localization of paraganglioma is common however it is much rarer in filum terminale site. We are presenting two cases of middle age gentlemen with complaints of radicular pain of lower limb. MRI lumbar spine was suggestive of intradural tumor arising from filum terminale at lumbar site. The tumor was completely excised and histopathology revealed to be paraganglioma. We hope this case will be documented in the literature and help in understanding this entity more clearly. Keywords:Paraganglioma, Filum terminale.
