ABSTRACT

It is presented a case of a 48-year-old patient, previously healthy, who underwent cesarean section under epidural block and presented data of spinal cord compression in the immediate puerperium. The initial diagnosis was a complication due to the neuraxial anesthesia. Afterwards, the MRI reported an intraspinal tumor at the T9-T10 level, which was removed with a histological diagnosis of schwannoma. The patient´s postoperative evolution was favorable, with no neurological sequelae. Schwannomas are benign tumors, whose main manifestation is symptoms of spinal cord compression.
