Los meningiomas osificados a nivel del canal espinal son raros. Se presenta el caso de un meningioma osificado a nivel de la columna dorsal D9-D10 intradural extramedular, en una paciente de 15 años que debutó neurológicamente con paraparesia espástica. Generalmente el estudio histológico es el que diagnostica de forma definitiva el proceso, diferenciándolo de los meningiomas calcificados donde no se evidencia organización ósea. El estudio radiológico también suele mostrar características determinadas de uno y otro tipo de meningioma.
Ossified meningiomas are rarely encountered in the spinal canal. The authors present the case of a 15 year old patient with a spastic paraparesis produced by an ossified intradural meningioma at the D9-D10 level. Histological examination differenciates between ossified and calcified meningiomas on the basis of the lack of osseous organization in the latter. The radiological study usually reveals specific features of one or the other type of meningioma.
