Abstract
Spinal dissemination of intracranial ependymomas through cerebrospinal pathway is not rare and has been reported in approximately 10% of the cases. However, the reverse is an uncommon phenomenon. We report one case that was initially treated for spinal ependymoma but later presented with intracranial metastasis.
