Acute Neurologic Deterioration in Mobile Spinal Schwannoma

BACKGROUNDSpinal schwannomas are commonly presented with minor symptoms, including radicular pain, sensory deficits, and minor neurologic deficit. Acute neurologic deterioration is uncommon. CASE DESCRIPTIONIn this study, a case of cauda equina schwannoma presented with acute neurologic deficit after movement of spinal schwannoma is presented. CONCLUSIONSIt is noted that movement of spinal schwannoma and resultant acute neurologic deterioration should be considered during the follow-up.
