Despite successful surgical resection, some patients experience suboptimal functional recovery. Several risk factors for poor prognosis have been identified, but limited research has explored the influence of tumour distribution and characteristics. In this study, we aimed to identify prognostic variables associated with residual neurological deficit in patients undergoing surgical resection for sporadic spinal schwannomas.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Clinical and radiological data of consecutive patients who underwent surgery for spinal schwannomas at Saitama Medical Centre between January 2010 and March 2024 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients with neurofibromatosis type 2 or foraminal and paravertebral schwannomas were excluded. Data collected included patient demographics, radiological features, and surgical complications.

Postoperative complications occurred in 6 cases (8.3%), including cerebrospinal fluid fistula and vascular injury. At a median follow-up of 26.4 months, 20 patients (27.8%) had residual neurological deficits. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression identified thoracic spine involvement (odds ratio [OR], 5.03; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.47\u201318.6;\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.01) and dumbbell-shaped tumours (OR, 0.15; 95% CI, 0.02\u20131.28;\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.04) as significantly associated with residual neurological deficits.
