ABSTRACT
A case of cystic neurilemmoma of cauda equina similar to ruptured lumbar disc herniation was brought to our attention. The patient, because of pain in lower back and in both legs, underwent acupuncture and herbal treatment without obtaining any result. In March 79, Lumbar myelography revealed meniscus sign at the level of the lower margin of L-4 body and thus total laminectomy was performed on the patient to remove the tumor. After the operation, the patient showed quick recovery.
