Cervical schwannoma presenting as a spinal subdural haematoma

Br J Neurosurg. 1994;8(6):739-41. doi: 10.3109/02688699409101190.

Abstract

We report a case of cervical spinal subdural haematoma as the presenting manifestation of a small intradural schwannoma. In patients without a bleeding diathesis and an apparently spontaneous spinal subdural haematoma, the possibility of an underlying tumour should always be considered.
