We present the microsurgical technique in excision of intramedullary craniocervical ependymomas. A 27-year-old female came presenting with neck pain and parasthesia in her both arms and hands, where MRI was performed showing intramedullary lesion that extend in the medulla just beyond the foramen magnum to the level of C5–6 disc. Tumor was totally excised using irrigation-dissection microscopic technique with favorable outcome. The video can be found here: http://youtu.be/Yj1yvZOaz58.
