Schwannoma of the craniocervical junction: surgical approach of two cases

Schwanoma da transição craniocervical: nota técnica de dois casos

We report two cases of craniocervical junction schwannomas with a special focus on the surgical approach. The patients underwent a far-lateral approach in the sitting position that facilitated the lesion removal. This report is meant to improve the understanding of this surgical technique as well as improve awareness of its usefulness for similar cases.
