Abstract:
Severe vertebral scalloping in spinal schwannoma is very rare. When present, extensive scalloping of the vertebral bodies possesses significant treatment challenges in patients with spinal tumors. We present the computed tomography scan and magnetic resonance images of spinal schwannoma with marked vertebral scalloping in a 40-year-old Nigerian.
