Surgical Outcome of Spinal Neurilemmoma

This article describes two unique cases of spinal neurilemmoma, a rare benign tumor, found in the cervical and thoracic spine of a 29-year-old man and an 11-year-old boy. Both patients experienced spinal cord compression due to the tumors and underwent surgery to remove the tumors and relieve the pressure on their spinal cords. Following surgery and rehabilitation, both patients recovered well and were able to return to their normal lives within a year, demonstrating the effectiveness of surgical intervention for this condition.

• 1
  Intraspinal neurilemmoma, though rare, should be considered when diagnosing spinal cord compression.
• 2
  Advances in imaging, such as MRI, and surgical techniques have significantly improved the outcomes for patients with intraspinal neoplasms.
• 3
  Complete surgical resection of neurilemmomas can lead to favorable functional outcomes and a low risk of recurrence.
