Abstract
A young male of 24 years was presented with a history
of gradually progressive spastic quadriparesis for long four
years. He was investigated and MRI revealed a neoplastic
lesion in the cervical cord at the level of C4, C5 with
perilesional edema and tumour syrinx formation, suggestive
of astrocytoma. After total removal histopathology proved
it to be an ancient schwannoma.
