Nervous Discrepancy of Spinal Cord Schwannoma Causing Posterior Neck Swelling

A 20-year-old man with chronic cervical pain has been diagnosed with cervical spinal schwannomas, a benign tumor in the posterior neck. Objective: To analyze the spinal cord schwannomas causing posterior neck swelling. Methods: In the first step, the vertebral canal portion of the tumor at C4 was removed entirely with a midline approach to the posterior spinal column. The patient underwent a laminectomy procedure in the second surgical session to remove tumors at C2 and C3, resulting in no neurological issues upon discharge from the hospital. Results: Schwannomas was diagnosed histopathologically. In patients with cervical intra-spinal schwannomas that have spread to the extra vertebral paravertebral neck region, the first goal of surgery is to treat the neurological deficits. Conclusions: It was concluded that the posterior midline and laminectomy approach approaches are combined in the same session or at different times in the surgical strategy.
