Abstract:
We experienced a case of postoperative quadriparesis secondary to operative position in a patient with pre-existing, asymtomatic,cervical neurilemmoma. The patient was admitted with chronic otitis media for mastoidectomy on right side. There was no specific event throughout operation and anesthesia but developed quadriparesis one hour after arrival on ward. With magnetic resonance imaging, the patient was dignosed to have cervical neurilemmoma. On seventh postoperative day the patient had second operation,cervical laminectomy and tumor removal. Ten days after second operation he was discharged without any complication. Eight months later he had mastoidectomy on the left side and was discharged without any sequale.
