BACKGROUND
Abdominal pain is one of the commonest reasons to seek medical help in pediatrics. It is estimated that about 15% of children visited doctors because of abdominal pain. Approximately 25% of these patients had pain that affected their everyday activities. Depending on the characteristics of the abdominal pain, the differential diagnosis includes a variety of gastrointestinal causes like abdominal pain (functional), constipation, and gastroesophageal reflux-related, with other intra-abdominal and extra-abdominal etiologies. Examples of these are oncological processes manifesting with abdominal pain.1,2 Herein, we highlight a rare case of pediatric spinal cord tumor presenting as a recurrent abdominal pain.
