Atypical intramedullary spinal cord melanocytic neoplasm with hemorrhagic features in a child: illustrative case
This case highlights the diagnostic challenges of IMSCMN in children because of its rarity and nonspecific imaging features. IMSCMN should be considered in pediatric hemorrhagic spinal cord lesions with MRI findings of T1 hyperintensity, T2 hypointensity, and an associated syrinx. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE25279.
