We report a case of a 48-year-old woman with schwannomatosis with chronic lower extremity pain that was refractory to surgical excision, interventional procedures, and medical management. Given that she had failed every typical treatment, it was decided that she would undergo spinal cord stimulation (SCS) for her neuropathic pain. After a successful percutaneous trial, the patient's permanent placement resulted in a near-complete and sustained pain elimination. Our case is an example that advanced interventional pain procedures, such as spinal cord stimulation, may have more indications than what is currently described, leading to innovations on how we might best serve our patients. .
