Primary spinal tumors are rare neoplasms with an incidence of 0.3 to 0.5 cases/1 lakh population. Schwannomas are the most common benign tumors of the spinal cord, arising from the nerve sheath cells accounting for 25% of all the spinal tumors. Complete surgical resection of the tumor is the treatment of choice in spinal schwannomas. Post resection complications are uncommon based on the factors affecting the tumor. In this case report, patient with extradural spinal schwannoma located at thoracic region was resected. She was complicated with paraplegia post operatively and successfully recovered following the standard protocol and rehabilitation.
