| description | Spinal teratomas, though rare among spinal tumors, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of intradural-intramedullary lesions, especially in children presenting with urinary and fecal symptoms. Comprehensive imaging evaluation, including CT and MRI with characteristic findings such as cystic and solid components, the presence of fatty tissue, and associated spinal cord abnormalities like syrinx formation, can aid in early diagnosis. Surgical resection remains the mainstay of treatment, and prompt intervention is crucial to prevent progression and alleviate symptoms in affected patients. Here, we discuss a case of an intradural-intramedullary teratoma in a 6-year-old child who was timely diagnosed using CT and MRI and treated with total surgical resection. |
