Growth prediction in asymptomatic meningiomas: the utility of the AIMSS score.

abstract：:Intramedullary clear cell meningioma (CCM), which is more aggressive than other meningioma variants, is extremely rare. To date, only one case of such a spinal tumour has been documented. We report the first case of an intramedullary CCM originating in the thoracic region of the spinal cord. ...
