Solitary thoracic intramedullary spinal neurofibroma microsurgically extirpated via recapping T-saw laminoplasty

We report the case of a 40-year-old female presenting with back pain that was complicated by a solitary intramedullary spinal cord mass at the T10–11 levels, confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography myelography. Microsurgical en bloc extirpation of the tumor approached through...
