Abstract
Endometriosis involving the neural axis is extremely rare. A twenty-five-year-old woman presented with acute onset paraparesis with bladder involvement of five-day duration. We missed her history of cyclical back-ache related to menses at the emergency room. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of spinal cord showed an intramedullary tumour with bleeding at conus-epiconus level. She was operated in the emergency department with laminectomy-durotomy and tumour decompression. Histopathology of the tumour was suggested endometriosis.Entities:
