Abstract
|
|
|
Intramedullary spinal cord neurilemmomas are rare tumors. Since neurilemmoma. is a neoplasm of Schwann cells that. are not indigenous to the central nervous system, various hypothesis have been, advanced to explain the occurrence of intramedullary neurilemmomas. These include central displacement of Schwann. cells into the spinal cord during embryonic development, Schwann cells ensheathing aberrant intramedullary nerve fibers, and Schwann cells in the sheaths of peripheral nerve-accompanying blood vessels into the cord.
In 1975, in their review of the literature, Wood et al, found 10 cases of intramedullary neurilemmoma, but successful removal of it was unusual.
We are reporting an intramedullary neurilemmoma in cervical spinal cord which had been removed successfully with using by bipolar, cauterization and Magnification.
