| Summary: | The paper presents a rare clinical case of surgical treatment of a patient with a giant invasive schwannoma of the thoracolumbar spine.
A single-stage en block resection of the tumor through a combined posteroanterior approach was performed followed by replacement of
post-resection interbody diastasis with a carbon implant and by posterior instrumental fixation of the spine. The pain syndrome regressed
from VAS scores 7 and 8 (back, lower limbs) to scores 4 and 1, respectively. The follow-up examination was conducted at 6 and 12 months
after surgery: there were no signs of relapse. Publications on giant invasive spinal schwannomas were analyzed. |
