Abstract
Malignant schwannomas are uncommon primary tumours of nerve sheath origin. They are rarely found within the spine and spinal canal, and little is known about their management in this unusual location. We describe the presentation of three patients with primary spinal malignant schwannomas and discuss the surgical management.Keywords
