520 _aBACKGROUND: Ependymomas are the most common intramedullary tumors in adults and are the most common in mid-adult years. The presence of synchronous ependymomas in different sites of the spine is not common and it is even more infrequent to find hemorrhage from a spinal ependymoma as a cause of neurological deterioration. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 32-year-old man presented with back pain and progressive paraparesia. Magnetic resonance (MR) showed two intradural extramedullary lesions on spinal canal with signs of acute hemorrhage. The patient underwent emergent surgical decompression and resection. Pathology revealed myxopapillary ependymomas. CONCLUSION: To our knowledge, we report the first case of a patient with acute neurological deterioration as a consequence of synchronous bleeding of two spinal ependymomas located at different levels in the spinal cord. This study illustrates the importance of recognizing the rare, but known occurrence of acute neurological deterioration after spontaneous hemorrhage in spinal ependymomas.
