Abstract
Two [human] cases of benign extramedullary tumors of the foramen magnum were studied by computed tomography (CT). The 1st case was a neurinoma; the 2nd was a meningioma. Several different CT findings allowed a correct preoperative diagnosis of the location and nature of the tumors. In view of the invasiveness of traditional diagnostic methods and of the encouraging, although limited, experience of the present cases, the role of CT in the diagnosis of these lesions is promising.
