Abstract

Meningioma in the spinal canal commonly appears as intradural extramedullary spinal tumors at the dorsal and cervical region but is rare in the lumbar area. A 36-year-old man presented to us with complaints of left sciatica, weakness, and difficulty in movements of his left toes for a couple of months. Magnetic Resonance Imaging revealed an enhancing oval-shaped lesion at the level of L4, and histopathology revealed a meningioma. The complete removal has been done with hemilaminectomy for this common tumor in an uncommon location.
