Yasmim Gomes, Americo Mota, Aquino Santana and Rafael Valois

Spinal Ependymomas are the most common intramedullary neoplasm in adults, comprising 60% of all glial spinal cord tumors. They are the second most common intramedullary neoplasm in the pediatric population, accounting for 30% of pediatric intramedullary spinal neoplasms. Peak incidence is in the fourth decade, with 39 years being the median age at presentation. Males are more affected than females. There is an increased coincidence with neurofibromatosis type II.
