Abstract:
:Spinal tumours in pregnancy are rare. Spinal tumours account for only 10-15% of all primary central nervous system (CNS) tumours. Most spinal tumours in pregnant women have been described as meningiomas or vascular tumours. We present the unique case of a pregnant patient presenting with a CD 99+ primary spinal central PNET.
