ABSTRACT

Spinal cord tumors correspond to 15% of the tumors of the central nervous system. These tumors are classified according to their relationship with the spinal cord. Paraganglioma is a rare neuroectodermal lesion, originating from paraganglionic cells, derived from the neural crest and associated with the autonomic nervous system, are benign lesions of the adrenal medulla or extra-adrenal paraganglia. When they are located in the spinal region they do it more frequently in the lumbar region (cauda equinal and Filum terminale). The clinic can be variable, however the main symptom is radiculopathy. We present a case of a 48-year-old woman with chronic low back pain, magnetic resonance with lumbar intradural lesion. Surgical procedure was performed by laminectomy and resection of the lesion with neurophysiological support, the histopathological report is compatible with lumbar intradural paraganglioma dependent on a nerve root. The case is exposed and the literature is reviewed.
