A 48-year-old female presented with severe cervical myelopathy secondary to a 3.7 cm C2 nerve root schwannoma, compressing the spinal cord from anterior to posterior. Resection was performed utilizing a far lateral approach with C-shaped incision, which allowed for direct view of the anterior spinal cord, while avoiding spinal cord retraction and occipito-cervical instability. Gross total resection was obtained and the patient experienced complete resolution of symptoms without postoperative surgical complications.
