ABSTRACT
A 39-year-old male presented with a spinal neurinoma originating from the T-1 anterior root and located ventral to the spinal cord. The tumor was removed by hemilaminectomy with only partial facetectomy without costotransversectomy. No stabilization was necessary, and no complications secondary to surgery occurred. Costotransversectomy is not necessary for neurinoma ventral to the spinal cord within the spinal canal at T-1 level because the transverse process protrudes more laterally and the spinal canal of the T-1 vertebra is wider than at other thoracic levels.
