    Author: Shikata J, Yamamuro T, Iida H, Yasuda T, Shimizu K.
    Journal: J Neurosurg Sci; 1991; 35(3):173-5. PubMed ID: 1774600.
    Abstract:
    A 49-year-old male, with a relatively uncommon multiple neurilemmoma, exhibited symptoms of cauda equina compression. Following a diagnosis of multiple tumor of the cauda equina and extradural cyst, based on myelography and CTM, the tumors at L1-L2, the left S1 nerve root, and left hip were resected. Three years after the operation, the patient is asymptomatic apart from slight numbness in the right hip and there is no evidence of tumor recurrence. The rarity of such a case prompted this report.
