Abstract: Patients presenting with various symptoms to the pediatric emergency department may be diagnosed with a spinal mass. Spinal ependymoma is a central nervous system tumor that is quite rare in childhood. Early diagnosis is important in terms of reducing morbidity and mortality. The presenting symptoms should be well understood, and necessary tests for differential diagnosis should be conducted. In this case, a 9-year-old male patient who presented to our emergency department with complaints of urinary incontinence and walking difficulties and was diagnosed with spinal ependymoma will be discussed.
