title: Subependymoma of the cervical cord.
abstract: Subependymomas are benign lesions of the central nervous system. Their occurrence in the spinal cord is rare. It is important to recognize these lesions because their total surgical excision is feasible and leads to long term symptom remission-a case of a spinal subependymomas localized in the cervical region is discussed and a review of the relevant literature is presented.
