Problem description:Hello doctor! I checked out a lumbar cyst in 2003 and had a drainage operation. This year the leg is uncomfortable to check for relapse. How should it be treated?
Question date:2021-01-12
Patient information:Age: 34 years old Gender: Male
Question analysis: For thoracic spinal tumors, more than 17 years after surgical resection, signs of localization of lower limbs appeared recently, and magnetic resonance imaging revealed local recurrence. Further diagnosis and treatment plans are planned.
Guide and suggestion: 1) After spinal cord tumor surgery, with compression symptoms and suspected local recurrence, neurosurgery is recommended. 2) Surgical treatment is the only effective treatment for suspected ependymoma recurrence after surgery. It is recommended to improve the preoperative examination and consider re-surgical resection.
Recommendations are for reference only. If the problem is serious, please go to the hospital for detailed inspection
