A 15-month-old girl presented with a spinal pilomyxoid astrocytoma manifesting as a 3-month history of dysphagia. Magnetic resonance imaging showed an intramedullary mass of the cervical spinal cord at C1-C6 with syringobulbia. She underwent partial removal of the tumor and received postoperative chemotherapy with cisplatin and etoposide. The tumor completely responded to the treatment and has not relapsed for 64 months. Pilomyxoid astrocytoma frequently occurs in the opticohypothalamic regions but is rare in the spine. The present case suggests that surgery followed by chemotherapy with cisplatin and etoposide may be an effective therapeutic option for pilomyxoid astrocytoma of the cervical spinal cord.
