脊髄腫瘍は散発性であり、中枢神経系新生物の約2％～4％を占める。脊髄上衣腫は最も一般的な脊髄新生物の1つであり、異なる神経学的徴候および症状を呈することがある。感覚症状は通常運動症状に先行して現れる。我々は今、孤立した首の痛みと他の神経学的症状の不在を呈した26歳女性の脊髄上衣腫のまれな症例を提示している。

Spinal cord tumors are sporadic and account for around 2%-4% of central nervous system neoplasms. Ependymoma is one of the most common spinal cord neoplasms and can present with different neurological signs and symptoms. They commonly present with neck or back pain and associated neurological involvement, with sensory symptoms usually antedating the motor symptoms. We now present a rare case of spinal ependymoma in a 26-year-old female who presented with isolated neck pain and the absence of other neurological symptoms. Attention to peculiar characteristics like isolated neck pain might be an essential key to early diagnosis and better prognosis.
