Spinal cord herniation after resection of cervical spinal neurofibroma with a unique presentation.

Background Context: Spinal cord herniation (SCH) is a very rare condition. It was first reported in the lumbar spine in 1974. Thereafter, cases were reported in the thoracic and cervical spine occurring either spontaneously or after vertebral fracture, nerve root avulsion, and trauma surgery.

Purpose: There is only one recorded case of SCH after tumor surgery. In this article, we reported the second case.

Study Design: We described the original surgical procedure, the clinical presentation, the operative repair, and the postoperative course.

Methods: No funding was required for this case report.

Results: The patient was a 56-years-old man, who presented with SCH 5 years after subtotal excision of a cervical neurofibroma. He presented with right upper monoparesis.

Conclusions: To our knowledge, this presentation has not been reported previously in literature.
