Abstract:
A case of neurofibroma in cauda equina which had been misdiagnosed as lumbar herniated nucleus puposus 6 years ago in other hospital was presented. In January 1984, the patient had taken the operation of total laminectomy and disckectomy at L2~3 level and symtoms were relieved thereafter. However severe low back pain and right sciatic radiation recurred in April 1990. In this hospital, lumbar myelography and spin C-T examination revealed the intradural extramedullary mass shadow at L2~3 level. On surgery, the dumbbell-shaped neurofibroma at the site was removed.
