craniovertebral junction might present radiologic features similar to those of meningioma or schwannoma. To the best
of our knowledge, this report is among a few reported cases of HPC at the craniovertebral junction. Although they are
very rare, HPCs should kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of the intradural extramedullary lesion due to differences
in treatment such as adjuvant radiotherapy.
