Abstract
A case of dumbbell-shaped hypoglossal neurinoma with intra- and extrac ranial extension is reported. The tumour was surgically completely rem oved in a one-stage operation via a dorsolateral suboccipital transcon dylar approach. Clinical presentation and the role of high-resolution CT-scan, MRI and angio-MRI in diagnosis and surgical planning are disc ussed. We include a review of the literature concerning these rare tum ours of the foramen magnum region.
