Abstract
Giant intradural extramedullary schwannoma of the cervical spine usually causes severe spinal cord compression. This type of tumor has a low incidence. Patients present progressive loss of strength and other functions of the spinal cord. This article shows the clinical images of a 75-year-old male with the diagnosis of giant intradural extramedullary schwannoma and the cases reported in the literature.
