Results of investigation and surgical treatment at 74 patients with cauda equine ependimomas, operated during 1988–2007 years, are analyzed. All tumors were intradural. According to their localization the tumors are divided on: cauda equine ependimomas, growing from terminal part of a spinal cord and extended among cauda equine; cauda equine ependimomas, primarily located among cauda equine roots and more often arised on filum terminale. Tumors were removed totally at 64,86% patients, subtotally — at 31,08%, partially — at 2,7%. Frequency of relapses was 12%, of continued growth — 9%.
