We demonstrate the surgical resection of a cervical dumbbell tumor in a patient who presented with progressive weakness over 3 mo. He was found to have a large C2-C3 dumbbell-shaped lesion with bony destruction on preoperative imaging. The patient subsequently underwent successful gross total resection of the tumor and had dramatic improvement in neurological status following surgery. Pathology confirmed the diagnosis of a World Health Organization grade I schwannoma. Detailed surgical techniques of the tumor resection and posterior fusion are presented in high-definition video with narration.
