Abstract:
:A 39-year-old lady presented with low back pain and neurogenic claudication. Magnetic resonance imagining revealed an intradural neoplasm in the cauda equina region. The patient underwent lumbar laminectomy and total excision of the neoplasm. Biopsy showed it to be a ganglioneuroblastoma, which is rare in the spinal canal and so far does not appear to have been reported in the region of the cauda equina. Its management is discussed.
