Left somatosensory cortex tumor presented with radicular hand pain and paresthesia.
Concurrent lesions in the brain and spinal cord, which can produce similar symptoms are truly confusing situations. Herein, we report on a 56-year-old woman who suffered from an intermittent radicular pain and paresthesia in her right upper limb and mild headache. Imaging showed a cervical vertebral disc herniation and a small round tumor of the somatosensory cortex with clear border, considered as a little meningioma, which could be followed. To deal with these two concurrent lesions, we faced a challenging condition.
