摘要
Extradural dumbbell shaped neurofibroma in paediatric patients is very rare. A case of extradural dumbbell neurofibroma in a 17-year-old girl who presented with neck pain and slowly progressive neck swelling. On imaging a dumbbell neruofibroma arising from left C2 nerve root was diagnosed. The case is presented here for its rarity, its extremely good postoperative outcome together with its radiological features. Cervical neruofibroma needs to be considered in the differential diagnosis of high cervical myelopathy in children despite its rarity
