Abstract

The discrepancy between the myelographic and the operative locations of the tumor, which is allowed by a redundant nerve root, is very unusual. Though unusal, this possible motility should be kept in mind during surgery for cauda equina tumors. Authors report a case of a mobile neurilemmoma of the cauda equina which was successfully removed, and discuss the pathogenesis of mobile meurilemmoma.
