第二頸神經鞘瘤－誤為心因性頭頸痛～病例報告

Abstract

A patient with headache and nuchalgia for three years was initially diagnosed as psychogenic origin. Spinal cord compression syndrome was unrecognized until motor evoked potential study showing abnormal findings. Excision of a nearly 3x2x2 cm dumbbell extra-and intradural tumor, which arose from the right C2 root, was performed after MRI documentation. Histologic diagnosis was neurilemmoma. Motor evoked potential study is useful in spinal cord diagnostics. The particular value of complete history-taking and exact neurological examination should not be underestimated.
