A young girl presented with features of Brown Sequard plus syndrome. Radiological imaging revealed an intramedullary tumour. The lesion was operated upon and the tumour was found to be intramedullary with a small exophytic component going through a rent in the anterior fissure. The intramedullary component of the tumour was totally excised. The case is discussed and factors influencing a radical excision of such tumours are reviewed
