METHODS A very rare case of intramedullary spinal cord germinoma is described. OBJECTIVE To increase knowledge about the pathogenesis and treatment of intramedullary spinal cord germinoma. BACKGROUND Primary intramedullary spinal cord germinoma is very rare and only two cases have been previously reported. METHODS A case of intramedullary spinal cord germinoma with complete paraplegia is presented. The diagnosis was determined by biopsy. RESULTS After local irradiation of 46 Gy, the tumor disappeared completely. CONCLUSIONS Irradiation therapy effectively treated this tumor, as shown radiologically, although the patient remained paraplegic.
