Mobile schwannoma of the cauda equina diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging.
Three cases of a mobile cauda equina schwannoma, preoperatively diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging, are described. When dealing with tumors of the cauda equina, it is important to carry out a second magnetic resonance imaging scan after changes in posture, bearing in mind the possibility of mobility of the tumor.
