Özet

Background: Ependymomas, the common glial tumors of the spinal cord, occur occasionally outside the central nervous system and are called exstraspinal ependymomas (EEP). EEPs are found primarily in sacrococcygeal region during childhood. The pathogenesis and the treatment of the sacrococcygeal (SC) ependymomas are still controversial, Therefore, we present our case with metaanalysis of other case reports to determine the optimal treatment modality for SC EEPs.
