Abstract:
The occurrence of motor deficit following resection of an intradural spinal schwannoma is an uncommon but potentially serious complication. This video illustrates the technique of microsurgical resection of an L-4 sensory nerve root schwannoma with preservation of the corresponding functional L-4 motor nerve root.
