Abstract:
Reports of extradural spinal meningioma are rare, and differentiation from a metastatic lesion is important. We treated a case of thoracic extradural meningioma with surgical excision and obtained a favorable outcome without recurrence during one-year follow-up. Thus, we report on a case with review of the literature.
