Acta Paediatr. 1995 Sep;84(9):1086-8. doi: 10.1111/j.1651-2227.1995.tb13833.x.

Abstract

We report the case of a 9-year-old boy with a spinal cord meningioma whose only manifestations were recurrent episodes of chest pain lasting for 2 years. This case shows that spinal cord meningioma should be considered among the possible causative factors of chronic chest pain in childhood.
