ES of the spine is a clinical rarity. Case Description: A 45-year-old male presented with a 3-month history of lower back pain which acutely worsened in conjunction with urinary retention. The magnetic resonance imaging revealed a mass extending from L5 to S2 with additional extension through the left S2-3 neural foramen. The metastatic workup was negative. At surgery, the lesion was both intradural and extradural. Following complete surgical resection, the patient was later treated with radiation and chemotherapy. Conclusion: Here, we report an adult male who acutely presented with low back pain attributable to primary intradural/extradural sacral ES.","thumbnailUrl":"https://sni-digital-videos.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/b1501447-9605-427a-97fa-582cd6debce7/featured/hero-1781562798468.png","publishDate":"2021-01-13T00:00:00.000Z","doi":"10.25259/SNI_766_2020","categories":["Spine","Case Report"],"fullTextUrl":"https://surgicalneurologyint.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/10522/SNI-12-17.pdf"}
