description Abstract Giant schwannoma of the conus medullaris is a rare form of spinal neoplasm. A 22-year-old woman presented with sciatica. Magnetic resonance imaging of the spine showed a mass lesion in the conus medullaris region with nerve compression. Subtotal resection was done and histologic analysis confirmed the diagnosis as Schwannoma. The patient improved in symptoms after surgery. This case report of a very rare cystic tumor is presented with review of the literature.
