We present the case of a patient with a vestibular schwannoma (VS) who developed vascular complications following surgery and discuss the potential mechanisms. Additionally, we systematically searched the literature to identify citations on vascular and brain stem complications following VS surgery. We excluded the articles related to facial and vestibulocochlear nerve-related complications and other complications, such as headache, tinnitus, and ataxia.

Management of large Trigeminal Schwannoma: long-term oncologic and functional outcome from a multicentric retrospective cohort.

Acta Neurochir (Wien)

November 2024

Department of Neurosurgery, Aix Marseille Univ, APHM, UH North, Chemin des Bourrely, 13015, Marseille, France.

Objective: Trigeminal schwannoma (TS), though a rare and benign tumor, becomes a significant surgical challenge due to its intricate location. This study aims to detail the long-term functional outcomes and tumor control post-surgical resection.

Method: We analyzed a multicentric retrospective cohort of 39 patients operated on for a TS in five tertiary centers between January 1993 and July 2022.

Article Synopsis
  • Schwannomas are benign tumors typically found near spinal nerve roots, but large cases with cystic degeneration are difficult to diagnose before surgery and are not well-researched in medical literature.
  • A case is presented of a 28-year-old man with a giant schwannoma causing intermittent pain in his left thigh; MRI revealed a complex cystic lesion extending from L4 to S1.
  • Successful surgical removal of the tumor led to symptom resolution, highlighting the need for accurate diagnosis through MRI and histopathology, and emphasizing that complete surgical excision is the preferred treatment approach.
