case_images: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated a mass between the T10 and T11 levels causing severe compression of the spinal cord ( Figure 1 ).
case_images: CT revealed complete ossification of the mass. (A) Sagittal CT image on bone window; (B) Sagittal CT image on soft-tissue window; (C) Axial CT image.

case_images: Computed tomography (CT) scan revealed complete ossification of the mass ( Figure 2 ). 18F-Fluoro-deoxy-glucose positron emission tomography CT (18F-FDG PET/CT) scan combined with MRI revealed that the mass was an intradural extramedullary high-density ossified nodule (spinal meningioma)? ( Figure 3 ).

case_images: Dorsal complete ossification of the intradural mass was revealed after full exposure of the dura of the corresponding segment ( Figure 4 ).
case_images: Histopathological examination of the resected tissue revealed that the mass was a meningioma with diffused psammomatous bodies.

case_images: Histopathological examination of the resected tissue revealed that the mass was a meningioma with diffused psammomatous bodies ( Figure 5 ).
case_images: The postoperative examination of the patient. (A, B) DR revealed appropriate internal fixation; (C, D) CT images demonstrated no residual mass compressing the spinal cord.
