A 57-year-old man suffering arm pain and numbness in the with left upper extremities subacute onset visited our hospital. He had hypersthesia at the left upper extremities and disturbance of fine movement of fingers. MRI revealed an abnormal lesion behind the C7 vertebra body. CT revealed a cystic body at the extradural area, compressing the spinal cord. Surgical resection was performed. Pathology identified the cyst as ganglion. Based on other reported cases, we made the assumption that this kind of ganglion has some relation with cervical spondlyosis.
