Description: The presence of rheumatoid nodules is the major extra-articular feature of rheumatoid disease, occurring typically within the subcutaneous tissues in relation to the extensor surfaces of the wrist and elbow. Rheumatoid nodule formation within the central nervous system is rare.' We report a case of a lumbar extradural rheumatoid nodule giving rise to spinal nerve root compression.
