Abstract

Extradural, radicular and spinal cord compressions are severe neurological complications of lymphomas. Less frequently, involvement of the peripheral nervous system, polymyositis, myastenia gravis and Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) occur.

We report a patient with GBS along with a lymphoma of the spinal extradural space where at the beginning the features of GBS outweighed the symptomatology of the extradural spinal mass

Key words

Child - Epidural lesion - Guillain-Barré syndrome - Non-Hodgkin lymphoma - Spinal cord compression
