Abstract:
The clinical and diagnostic procedures applied to a 53 year old woman admitted to hospital with left brachiocrural sensory and motor impairment subsequently extending to the right of the body are described. The complete clinical picture featured severe tetraparesis with pyramidal hypertonia and proprioceptive hyperreflexia as well as bilateral Babinski, marked atrophy of the scapulohumeral girdle, thermodolorific anesthesia and severe tactile hypoesthesia from C2 to C4. Magnetic resonance studies of the cervical marrow and spine revealed a meningioma on C1-C2 that was about 1.5 cm in diameter and situated anterior to the marrow with partial extension towards the left. Radical excision of the tumour totally cured the symptoms.
