Abstract

Spinal schwannomas coexisting with meningiomas in patient without neurofibromatosis are extremely rare lesions. Here we present a case of 59-year-old patient with concurrent spinal meningioma and schwannoma at L1-L2 spinal level. This is the first case of the concurrent intradural tumours at the same lumbar level.
