ABSTRACT
Source abstract
INTRODUCTION AND SIGNIFICANCE: Ewing sarcoma is a rare and malignant bone tumor that can primarily affect the cervical spine. Symptoms may not always be present, but muscle weakness is a critical indicator of disease progression and necessitates urgent surgical intervention to relieve pressure on the spinal cord. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a case of a child who experienced sudden muscle weakness in the left upper limb. An MRI of the spine revealed a tumor in the cervical spine compressing the spinal cord. Urgent surgical intervention was performed, successfully removing most of the tumor. This was followed by complementary chemotherapy. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Tumors located in the cervical spine are challenging to treat due to their location. Urgent surgery may be crucial when muscle weakness is present. This case demonstrates a novel surgical approach through the spinous processes of the vertebrae, avoiding laminectomy and the need for spinal fixation, which can be difficult in children. CONCLUSION: Our case highlights a rare presentation of Ewing sarcoma in the cervical spine, infrequently reported in medical literature. It also demonstrates the success of a novel surgical approach that avoids spinal fixation in children.
