Four cases of spinal cord tumor were treated surgically from 1980 to 1982. Complete cure was obtained in a case of extradural schwannoma and in two cases of intraduralextramedullary tumors (schwannoma and meningioma). One case of intramedullary ependymoma resulted in spastic gait with one crutch. A Nine-year-old girl with intradural-extramedullary schwannoma showed radiological instability after extensive laminectomy.
