Abstract:
Benign Schwannoma rarely involves the vertebral bodies extensively. Despite of huge amount of neoplastic mass and severe destructive bony changes, the neurologic deficits could not be discovered. The authors discussed the findings of plain X-rays, cervical CT, MRI, pathology as well as surgical procedure, and reviewed the literatures.
