Cervical dumbbell-type tumor spontaneously shrinking following an ischemic stroke

CONCLUSION: Here, we report on a 57-year-old man with cervical MR images revealing that a cervical dumbbell schwannoma was progressively compressing both the spinal cord and the right vertebral artery. However, following a cerebral infarction, the tumor underwent spontaneous shrinkage over the next 4 years, thus relieving the compression.PMID:37680907 | PMC:PMC10481817 | DOI:10.25259/SNI_613_2023
