Abstract

Schwannomas are benign tumours of the peripheral nerve sheath. When they occur in spine, they are most commonly found in intradural-extramedullary location. Surgery is the mainstay of treatment. Radiation has a limited role in the management of residual or recurrent lesions not suitable for surgery. Here we discuss the existing literature on the outcomes of spinal schwannoma after surgery.
