Abstract
The clinical and radiological findings of a giant cystic intraspinal c ervical tumour are presented. Symptoms and signs suggesting a polyneur opathy were misleading. On myelography the tumour appeared as a solid mass, but its size was distincly underestimated. MRI demonstrated the true extent (from C4 to T4) and the cystic structure of the tumour. Th e histologpathological diagnosis was fibrillary neuroma (WHO grade I).
