1Division of Neurosurgery, Hennepin County Medical Center, Minneapolis.
Subependymomas of the cervical spinal cord are relatively rare tumors. Thirteen cases have been reported in the literature with the longest reported follow-up and survival being six years. This paper describes a woman who survived for 14 years in reasonably good health after her diagnosis of cervical spinal cord intramedullary subependymoma. A review of reported cases and a discussion of subependymomas and their characteristics is included.
