A 62-year-old woman was admitted complaining of clumsiness in both hands. On neurological examination, bilateral hand muscles were weak, both legs were spastic and hyperreflexic, all the extremities were hypoesthetic. Urological examination revealed detruser sphincter dyssynergia. Spinal CT scan demonstrated an iso density mass lesion in the cervical spinal cord, and it was markedly enhanced. On MRI, it was also markedly enhanced by Gd-DTPA. The operative finding was that an oval shaped tumor was buried in the spinal cord and was totally removed. Its histological diagnosis was neurofibroma. Intramedullary neurofibroma is rare and only 18 cases have been reported. In this case the tumor seemed to have arisen at the root entry zone and to have grown sub-pially.
