Abstract
A description of the etiopathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment of spinal nerve schwannomas are presented. Clinical observations of schwannomas in servicemen, confirmed by histological data, are presented. The considered pathology occupies a significant place among intradural-extramedullary tumors of the spinal cord. To clarify the localization, size, and prevalence of the tumor, the method of choice is magnetic resonance imaging. Computed tomography with reconstruction makes it possible to determine the nature of destruction and the extent of damage to bone structures. Most cases of the newly diagnosed disease occur in patients of working age. Schwannomas are solitary tumors, in the case of multiple lesions, neurofibromatosis should be excluded.
