Pilomyxoid astrocytoma (PMA) is a rare brain tumour generally located in the chiasmatic-hypothalamic region. In comparison to pilocytic astrocytoma, PMA has distinct histopathological features, aggressive clinical behaviour, a high recurrence rate, and early cerebrospinal fluid dissemination. Only 14 cases of PMA have been reported in the spinal cord since its pathological description in 1999. Here, we report the 15th case in a 3-year-old girl who was treated with chemoradiotherapy and followed up for 5 years. In this report, we also present a review of spinal PMA including treatment options and prognosis.
