Abstract

We treated a case of giant dumbbell-shaped neurinoma extending from the C-3 to C-6 spinal canal and causing significant compression of the cord posteriorly. Total removal of the tumor was performed by transuncodiscal approach. The usefulness of this approach will be detailed in this paper.
