background and importance: our learning curve during two decades of neurosurgical practice has been changed from an abstractive to a more meaningful and conductive state. in cases of fifth nerve neurinoma, pre-operative anatomopathologic diagnosis could lead us to a pre-planned program during and after the surgery to get the safe surgical result. case presentation: representation of two complex...

Schwannoma is a peripheral nerve tumour, occasionally located in the genitourinary tract. We described an extremely rare case of intratesticular neurinoma in a 79-year-old patient.

A case of an intratemporal lobe and middle cranial fossa neurinoma of the facial nerve is presented. Complete excision of the tumour was carried out.

BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2014205844 DESCRIPTION A 71-year-old woman was referred due to chest discomfort. She had normal breath sounds with normal pulmonary functions. A chest roentgenogram was also normal, while a transverse thin section CT image (1 mm section thickness) showed bronchial wall thi...

our case was a 48-year-old man with cervical pain radiatingto the upper limbs. imaging showed an intradural tumor with extradural component encasing the vertebral artery.thetumor diagnosed asa neurinomaand had been removed surgically.the post operationmagnetic resonance imagingshowed that the tumor was completely removed andthe vertebral arterywas intact at theentire length.the goal of surgery ...

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...

MR was useful in verifying CSF rhinorrhea following removal of an intracanalicular acoustic neurinoma via the occipital route in a 29-year-old man. MR accurately identified the location of the CSF leak.
