T1 and T2 [Figure 2] with homogenous enhancement with contrast was seen posterior and lateral to the spinal cord compressing the dura anteriorly, and extending to the left D8-D9 neural foramina, thus with features suggestive of either neurofibroma or meningioma [Figure 3]. The patient was planned for elective surgery and underwent D7-D9 laminectomy and total excision of the lesion.
