ABSTRACT

This study reports a case of a female patient being 67 years old, suffering from occipital migraine, as well as cervical pain with a two-year evolution. The patient received several treatments, without any kind of improvement. One year and eight months after the beginning of the treatment, a progressive left hemiparesis joined the other problems. Laboratory studies were performed and it was diagnosed an intradural meningioma in C1-C2. The patient was subjected to a surgical treatment; the symptoms remitted and she recovered the neurological deficit.
