The spinal cord tumor being rare in pregnancy can cause serious problems continuing pregnancy. Extensive neurological involvement which is rapidly progressive due to compression should be considered for immediate decompression. We present a case of a patient in the 17 th weeks of pregnancy who had paraparesis due to thoracic intradural extramedullary meningoma. Surgical intervention was deemed necessary and was performed in the prone position. The early operative treatment and appropriate anaesthetic procedure resulted in good clinical outcome with complete neurological recovery.
