A case is presented of acute spinal cord compression by a thoracic dumbbell spinal schwannoma in a young woman with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1). A successful outcome was achieved with total excision of the lesion and decompression of the spinal cord. Greater recognition of the reversibility of spinal cord compression in the developing world is necessary to reduce major permanent morbidity.
本文报告了一例1型神经纤维瘤病（NF-1）年轻女性患者，因胸段哑铃形脊髓神经鞘瘤导致急性脊髓受压。通过完全切除病变和脊髓减压取得了成功的结果。为了减少主要的永久性发病率，发展中国家有必要更加认识到脊髓压迫的可逆性。
