Foramen magnum neurinomaの1治験例

An Operated Case of Foramen Magnum Neurinoma

I．はじめに

　最近われわれは診断が困難であったcraniospinal typeのforamen masrnum neurinomaの全摘出例を経験したので，若干の文献的考察を加えて報告する．

A 36-year-old male with craniospinal type of foramen magnum neurinoma removed totally was reported.

Foramen magnum neurinoma shows various clinical symptoms called foramen magnum syndrome but none of them is specific. Therefore almost all the cases in the literature have been misdiagnosed as degenerative or demyelinating diseases. The best way for correct diagnosis is to suspect the existence of the tumor.
