title: Congenital intradural neuroblastoma.
abstract: A case of congenital intradural neuroblastoma with paraspinous involvement in a newborn is reported. A newborn presenting with paraplegia was treated with decompressive laminectomy and an attempt to debulk the tumor followed by postoperative radiation and chemotherapy. Literature review and treatment of the intraspinal neuroblastoma is presented along with the differential diagnosis of infantile intraspinal tumors. This is the first reported case describing congenital intradural neuroblastoma with no extradural component in a newborn.
