Abstract

Cervical extradural tumor is one of the rare tumors and can cause progressive neurological problems. Neurological deficit in productive age greatly affects the patient's quality of life. Surgical management is carried out with the aim of reducing pain, improving neurological conditions, and improving the patient's quality of life. A 25-year-old woman had progressive tetraparesis since 2 months prior to admission, MRI showed an extradural mass compressing the spinal cord at the level of the C1-3. The surgery was performed under the principles of neuroanaesthesia. On postoperative assessment, motor strength function has improved significantly. A extradural tumor patient was excision by operation with 850 mm bleeds and good recovery with improvement motoric function in all extremities Good perioperative management is needed in patients with spinal tumors, especially patient with tumors on the cervical levels. The anticipation of iatrogenic spinal cord trauma and bleeding has to be maintained during the surgery. Neurological evaluation and rehabilitation of patients is carried out by involving a multidisciplinary team. Spinal cord tumour with excise in neurosurgery at the right time and good perioperative neuroanesthesia will good outcome and improve neurologicals deficit.
