A case of ectopic extraspinal meningioma is reported which presented as a tumor at the back of the neck of a 51-year-old woman. This neoplasm was of considerable size and arose extradurally in the region of the C-2 nerve root, with its main bulk lying almost totally outside the spinal canal in the right suboccipital region. Total resection was accomplished in two stages, with no evidence of recurrence after 1 year. The rarity of such cases prompted this report.
