Neurofibromatosis and Schwannoma Cases

Ependymomas are the most common intramedullary tumor of the spinal cord. They are most common at the region of the cauda equina, accounting for up to 90% of primary tumors in that area. Extraspinal ependymomas are rare. We describe a case of an ependymoma arising in a spinal peripheral nerve root.
