Intramedullary Teratoma of Spine in an Adult Patient.

Abstract

Spinal teratomas are rare spinal tumors. Most of these present in children. We present the imaging findings of a spinal teratoma that was not symptomatic until adulthood. Teaching point: Congenital spinal tumors may occasionally present for the first time in adulthood, and radiologists need to be familiar with the imaging findings.
