We report on a case of a 47-year-old female patient with a long history of low back pain irradiating bilaterally to the legs. Twenty days before admission to our clinic, she had developed progressive weakness in the legs, more pronounced on the left side. The initial neurological examination revealed signs of damage to both the cauda equina and the spinal cord. The neuroimaging studies (computed tomography, myelography and magnetic-resonance tomography) found spinal stenosis most severe at L4-L5 level, and right lateral thoracic intradural-extramedullary tumor at T9-T10 level.
