Abstract
Two cases of spinal cord tumor were reported herein. Case 1, a 65-year old woman, consulted us complaining of pain in legs and disturbance of gait. Myelogram showed a complete block from C7 to Th1. Operation was performed and intradural extramedullary type tumor with ossification tissues was removed. Histologically the tumor was diagnosed as psommamatous meningioma. After operation the symptoms disappeared quickly. Case 2 was a 34-year-old man whose complaint was motor palsy of four extremities and hypesthesia below C3 level. Myelogram showed a complete block from C2 to Th4. Operation was done and the intramedullary type tumor was removed. Histologically the tumor was diagnosed as ependymoma.
