Neurocytoma as an extramedullary lesion is extremely rare in spinal canal. We present a case with primary subdural extramedullary neurocytoma of thoracic-lumbosacral spine. The patient presented with sore waist and numbness of right foot for half a month, as well as progressively increasing weakness of both lower limbs. An extramedullary tumor was revealed in the thoracic-lumbosacral level bymagnetic resonance imaging(MRI) and confirmed by pathology as extra ventricular Neurocytoma. In conclude, whenever a patient is diagnosed to have an extramedullary tumour in the thoracic-lumbosacral level, neurocytoma should be considered within the differential diagnosis despite its rarity.
