Abstract
A case of cervical spine intramedullary subependymoma in a 52-year-old female is reported. Also, the relevant literature on the 40 cases reported till date is reviewed. Magnetic resonance imaging, even with enhancement, does not show any distinctive features making pre-operative diagnosis often difficult. These tumours are eccentrically located within the spinal cord, thus enabling complete tumour removal in most cases. They are benign with low proliferative potential and hence no post-operative radiotherapy should be administered.Entities:
