    Schwannomas which are one of the nerve sheath tumors located in the spinal column intradural-extramedullary. Schwannomas are generally seen in lumbar region and rarely located in cervical and cervico-thoracic junction. Schwannomas generally have solid characteristics however cystic companents rarely accompany to the solid tumor. So, cystic schwannomas are rarely seen in cervico-thoracic junction. In this report; we present a 59 year old female patient with C7-Th1 intradural extramedullar cystic schwannoma which complaints with pain and paresthesia at the left upper extremity. The lesion was extirpated with posterolateral approach. The histopathologic and immunohistochemical result of the patient was schwannoma. We also discussed radiological and pathological features and surgical approaches of the schwannomas.
