In a rare and highly complex neurosurgical procedure, the Department of Neurosurgery at NewEra Hospital, Lakadganj, has successfully performed the en bloc removal of a giant 13-cm intradural intramedullary spinal cord tumour in a 20-year-old man.
The tumour extended from D9 to L3 and was diagnosed on histopathology as a Myxopapillary Ependymoma (CNS WHO Grade II).
