Overview

Case report observes successful tumor resection in a male with paraganglioma spinal metastasis, indicating high surgical risks.

Key Points

To report a rare case of paraganglioma with spinal metastasis and its surgical management.
A 57-year-old male with a pre-existing paraganglioma underwent emergency thoracic laminectomy and tumor resection due to spinal cord compression.
MRI revealed significant spinal cord compression at thoracic levels 7 to 9 prior to surgery.
Pathological evaluation confirmed the tumor's paraganglioma nature with specific markers; surgery was performed with close monitoring for hemorrhage.
Significant intraoperative bleeding occurred, totaling 3000 ml, requiring blood transfusion.
Post-surgery, the patient's lower limb strength improved to MMT4 by the following day, and he was able to use a walker by day five.
The presence of SDHB gene mutation in the tumor suggests a higher risk for spinal metastasis and increased surgical bleeding.
