Remitting paresis of the left leg accompanied by left trigeminal neuralgia led to the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis in a 46-year-old woman. Over the following 6 years, an incomplete syndrome of the spinal cord developed along with bilateral trigeminal pain. Neuroradiological and neurosurgical exploration a neurinoma located ventrolaterally at C1/C2 on the left side. It is emphasized that since trigeminal fibres descend as far as the upper part of the C2 segment, trigeminal neuralgia should not be considered as an exclusively supraspinal symptom.

A 61 year old male developed progressive spastic tetraparesis and paresis of the lower cranial nerves (IX, X and XI) after a minor spine-head trauma. Magnetic resonance depicted a partially cystic IV ventricular mass, extending to C1/C2 level. Neuropathology was compatible with choroids plexus papilloma (CCP). This case shows a rare clinical presentation of an infrequent adult tumour.
