Intraosseous schwannoma of the cervical spine.
The authors report a rare case of a cervical intraosseous schwannoma, which was diagnosed following an incidental history of trauma. This is the first case of an intraosseous schwannoma of the cervical vertebra that was diagnosed using magnetic resonance imaging. The authors discuss the radiological imaging, surgical procedure and review the relevant literature.
