The authors report the case of a 28-year-old woman with a spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid leak from the sleeve of a redundant thoracic nerve root. She presented with postural headaches and orthostatic symptoms indicative of intracranial hypotension. CT myelography revealed that the lesion was located at the T-11 nerve root. After failure of conservative management, including blood patches and thrombin glue injections, the patient was successfully treated with surgical decompression and ligation of the duplicate nerve, resulting in full resolution of her orthostatic symptoms.

Abstract A 12-year-old boy was investigated for knee pain and contractures, and was found to have an intraspinal tumor of a lumbar nerve root and a tumor in the tectal region, both low-grade astrocytomas, We postulated that the tectal region astrocytoma metastasized to the lumbar intraspinal region. After surgery, the child underwent focal irradiation to the posterior fossa supplemented by craniospinal irradiation and a boost dose to the region of the lumbar spinal tumor. A low-grade astrocytoma rarely presents as spinal metastasis. This case may represent the first of a primary tectal low-grade astrocytoma manifesting as a symptomatic spinal mass.
