Intraspinal primitive neuroectodermal tumour is rare in the paediatric population and particularly rare when it is purely intramedullary. This report describes a 16-month-old girl who presented with acute onset of torticollis and lower limb weakness. Subsequent imaging, operative findings, and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of an intraspinal primitive neuroectodermal tumour.
