Anterior approach for dumbbell type cervical neurinoma.
A one-stage anterior approach was performed in four patients for total removal of dumbbell type neurinoma at the cervical level. In each case, the neurinoma compressed the spinal cord in the cervical canal, developed anteriorly through the intervertebral foramen, and compressed the vertebral artery. A conventional cervical anterior approach at the tumor site was performed, followed by confirmat...
متن کاملResection of a dumbbell-shaped thoracic neurinoma by hemilaminectomy: a case report.
Neurinomas originating from intercostal nerve roots can grow both inside and outside of the spinal canal, forming dumbbell-shaped tumors. Such a neurinoma was discovered at the Th3 and Th4 levels in a 73-year-old woman during evaluation for breast cancer surgery. Magnetic resonance images (MRI) showed spinal cord compression by the tumor despite lack of neurologic symptoms. The tumor was resect...
متن کاملCombined Unilateral Hemilaminectomy and Thoracoscopic Resection of the Dumbbell-Shaped Thoracic Neurinoma: A Case Report
A 41-year-old woman complained of chest pain when coughing. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging disclosed a homogenously enhanced tumor occupying the spinal canal at the Th7 level and extending into the right paravertebral space through the intervertebral foramen between Th7 and Th8. The tumor was successfully removed via a posterolateral approach using unilateral hemilaminectomy...
متن کاملDysphagia Due to Anterior Cervical Spine Osteophyte: A Case Report
Introduction: Degenerative changes of the cervical spine are more common in elderly, but anterior cervical osteophytes that cause problems in swallowing are rare. The most common cause of this problem is DISH disease (diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis). Trauma is also suggested as a potential cause in osteophyte formation. Case Report: We report a rare case of anterior cervical osteop...
متن کاملPosterolateral thoracotomy Approach for an Ectopic Mediastinum Thymoma: A Case Report
Thymic epithelial neoplasms are commonly aetiology of the anterior mediastinum masses in adults. It represents 20–30% of all mediastinal tumours in adults. Ectopic thymomas usually affect the neck, mediastinal compartments, lung, and pleura, arising from aberrant thymic tissue. For giant thymoma, there is still no consensus on the surgical approach. We herein report a patient with a giant thym...
