ABSTRACT
Ganglionneuroblastoma is a rare neoplasm involving central nervous system. We have recently experienced a case of cervicothoracic extradural ganglionneuroblastoma invaded from upper posterior mediastinum. The patient presented with a progressive weakness of both lower extremities and had difficulty in voiding. The plain X-ray films, thoracic spine CT scan and myelography disclosed an extradural mass from C6 to T4 level. This extradural mass was communicated with upper posterior mediastinum. The mass was surgically removed and then the patient showed good recovery postoperatively.
