Abstract
iatrogenic post-operative instability. Histopathological examination showed ancient schwannoma. The patient’s neurological status is steadily improving. Conclusion Giant ancient schwannomas at the cervico-thoracic spine are uncommon. These tumours can be successfully removed even in resource-limited settings as long as the technical expertise is available.
