The First Case of Kernohan-Woltman Notch Phenomenon Caused by Epidural Hematoma in a Pediatric Patient.

abstract：:Ewing sarcoma (ES) is an aggressive, primary bone malignancy with occasional soft tissue extension. Purely extra-osseous ES is rare. A primary intraspinal, intradural ES without bone involvement is exceedingly rare. ES may be differentiated from other primitive neuroectodermal tumors by molecular analysis. The authors...
