ABSTRACT
We are report a case of surgically treated a huge neurilemmoma in the lower thoracic and lumbosacral areas. A 57-year-old women presented with low back pain, motor weakness of the both lower extremities and urination difficulty. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a huge enhancing lesion at the L3-S1 levels and isolated two small enhancing lesions at the T12 and L1 level respectively. This case was treated with extensive laminectomy from T12 through S1 level and total resection. The pathological findings were consistent with neurilemmoma. The patient's preoperative neurologic deficit has been recovered and no postoperative complications developed.
