Résumé
Spinal cord astrocytomas are rare lesions in adults. In this report, we present the case of a 28-year-old female patient who presented with a 2-year history of back pain and 3-month history of leg weakness. Magnetic resonance imaging of the patient showed an intrinsic expansive spinal cord lesion with extensive vertebral body destruction. Open biopsy from the tumor with limited debulking confirmed World Health Organization grade II astrocytoma. Postoperatively, the patient had mild improvement in neurologic status. This case represents a rare presentation of a spinal cord astrocytoma with extensive erosion of the vertebral body.

CASE DESCRIPTION
METHODS
In this report, we present the case of a 28-year-old female patient who presented with a 2-year history of back pain and 3-month history of leg weakness. Magnetic resonance imaging of the patient showed an intrinsic expansive spinal cord lesion with extensive vertebral body destruction. Open biopsy from the tumor with limited debulking confirmed World Health Organization grade II astrocytoma. Postoperatively, the patient had mild improvement in neurologic status.
CONCLUSIONS
CONCLUSIONS
This case represents a rare presentation of a spinal cord astrocytoma with extensive erosion of the vertebral body.
