Özet
Meningiomas are usually benign, slow-growing tumors that originate from arachnoid cap cells. Spinal meningiomas represent 12% of all meningiomas. They tend to grow slowly and cause different symptoms, depending on the region affected; therefore, the time between the onset of symptoms and diagnosis is variable. Before the frequent use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), some cases with spinal meningiomas were reported to be operated on with a misdiagnosis of lumbar disc herniation or knee disorder. Here, we report a case of a patient who had been operated on with the diagnosis of lumbar spinal stenosis but had complaints of weakness in the legs and difficulty walking. The patient did not improve after the operation. Further investigations after the surgery revealed that the patient had spinal meningioma.
