ABSTRACT

The case of a 20-year-old female patient who went to the Neurosurgery department for presenting pain in the lumbar region was presented. At the interrogation, the patient reported having constipation, urinary retention and low back pain. In the complementary tests, the most significant was nuclear magnetic resonance, which showed a hyperdense image at the level of D12-L5. Laminectomy of D12-L5, durotomy and tumor extraction, transpedicular fixation with screws located in T12-L1- L3-L4 with titanium bars was performed, a diagnosis of grade II-III astrocytoma was obtained. When analyzing the different aspects of the case in question, the researchers conclude that with the therapeutic behavior taken with this case, the basis is laid for the correct management of subsequent patients.
