MRI of the cervical spine. (a) T2-weighted MR images revealed a syrinx with edema. (b) T1-weighted Gd-enhanced sagittal image revealing an intramedullary intradural isointense mass (arrow) at the C6-C7 level.

The patient underwent tumor resection through a median suboccipital craniectomy for the cerebellar lesion [Figure 3] and C5-C7 laminectomy with a posterolateral sulcus approach to resect the C6-C7 spinal cord tumor [Figures 4 and 5].
