Abstract
A 74-year-old woman had acute cervical transverse myelopathy from a neurilemmoma. Although extremely rare, the possibility of tumor should be recognized in patients with apparently spontaneous spinal subdural hematoma. As in other cases of compressive myelopathy, early operation is essential for recovery of neurological deficit.
