Abstract
Myxopapillary ependymoma of the filum terminale and conus medullaris are relatively common spinal intradural neoplasms in adults, only 8-14% affecting children. We describe a case of a 15-year-old girl with two myxopapillary ependymomas of the filum terminale. Although cases of two such tumours have been described in adults, we have not found any similar paediatric cases in the literature.
