We present the imaging findings of a case of spinal pilomyxoid astrocytoma in a 29-year-old woman with history of neck and back pain and weakness of bilateral upper extremities. A contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) imaging study revealed an extensive intradural extramedullary lesion occupying most of the thecal sac extending from mid cervical up to the lumbosacral region with extensive contrast enhancement. Spinal pilomyxoid astrocytoma is rare with only three reported cases in pediatric population in the literature. This report illustrates the MR findings of an unusual case of intradural extramedullary spinal pilomyxoid tumor in an adult patient.
