Abstract

Introduction and background A 4-year-old girl was admitted with complaints of diplegia, right lower limb monoplegia, and left lower limb monoparesia. Cervical magnetic resonance imaging revealed an intradural-extramedullary tumor at the level of C1-C2. The tumor was resected totally. Histopathologic diagnosis revealed clear-cell meningioma.
