Özet:

 


Giant cervical intradural extramedullary schwannoma
with severe spinal cord compression is a rare entity. Tumor spread and size are
very important for surgical approach. In this case, we report a 55-years-old
male patient with a giant intradural-extramedullary cervical schwannoma extending
between C5 and T1 and causing spinal cord compression that underwent total
resection with laminoplasty at C5-6-7 levels. The patient developed no
additional deficit. To preserve the cervical lordosis, the patient used a
cervical collar for three months. There has been no recurrence during two years
of follow-up. Using the appropriate surgical method is essential in patients
with spinal tumor in order to avoid additional neurological deficits and
achieve cure.
