Abstract

An 11-year-old female, presented with a cervical myelomeningocele. Interestingly, the myelomeningocele sac was seen to contain a meningioma. There are no aetiological factors in the embryogenetic period that would lead to such a combination of lesions. In our opinion, the meningioma appeared in a later period because of local factors.
