Medioma is one of the more common benign spinal tumors. It grows slowly, and most of the early symptoms are not obvious. It has a long history. It is often the first symptoms of numbness and fatigue in the corresponding limbs where the tumor is located. However, pain is also an important clinical manifestation of meningioma! The following is a case sharing:

[Case introduction]

51-year-old Aunt Yan has repeated neck pain for more than one year. It was initially dull pain, with intermittent and irregular attacks. The pain has worsened in the past month, and the stinging feeling is obvious, and the attack is accompanied by trembling throughout the body. Because the pain is relatively limited and there is no sign of numbness and fatigue in the limbs, the treatment was still treated with drugs at the beginning, but the effect was not ideal. So I had a cervical MR, and it turned out that there was a tumor in the spinal canal of the upper cervical vertebrae.

After further examination, the tumor density seen in CT increased. It was learned from imaging that the possibility of meningioma is high.

commented by Dr. Cui Jianchao:

Medioma progresses slowly, has a long history of illness, and is not obvious in the early stage and is often easily overlooked by patients. For long-term spinal pain, specialist examinations should be done in time to clarify the cause, and strive for early detection and early treatment to avoid missing the best treatment opportunity.

Professor Jiang Xiaobing commented:

Medioma is a benign intra-spinal tumor . It grows slowly, has hidden early symptoms and is not easily noticed. When it has obvious symptoms, it may have compressed the spinal cord in the corresponding part and may even cause spinal cord degeneration. Therefore, long-term pain in the spinal area should be taken seriously. The tumor grows behind the neck, and the operation is relatively difficult and needs to be completed under a microscope. The operation should be performed by an experienced doctor. The patient's postoperative rehabilitation status should be shared with friends in the future.
