Sumario:We report a case of a 40-year-old female patient admitted to the hospital due to lumbar pain that spread to both legs and was associated with weakness of the lower extremities. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed an intradural - extramedullary tumor at the level of the T12 - L2 vertebra. The lesion was over 7 cm in greatest diameter and compressed the conus medullaris. The patient underwent surgery to remove the entire tumor. Postoperative pathology confirmed the diagnosis of schwannoma. The symptoms resolved almost completely without significant complications.
