The authors report simultaneous surgical treatment of the right S1 root schwannoma with extravertebral retroperitoneal spread. Well-equipped operating theatre, professional experience and multidisciplinary approach involving neurosurgeons and abdominal surgeons ensure total minimally invasive simultaneous resection of schwannoma via posterior median and laparoscopic approach.

Spinal schwannoma presenting with intraspinal hematoma: a case report and review of the literature.
J Med Case Rep
December 2024
Department of Neurosurgery, The First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Science and Technology, 24 JingHua Road, Luoyang, 471000, Henan, China.
Background: Spinal schwannomas presenting with an intraspinal hematoma or subarachnoid hemorrhage are extremely rare, and patients often have severe spinal cord compression symptoms. However, the mechanism underlying the bleeding remains unclear.
Case Presentation: We present the case of a 53-year-old Chinese female diagnosed with a T12 schwannoma accompanied by an intratumoral hematoma.

Background: Trigeminal neuralgia (TNa), or tic douloureux, is characterized by severe facial pain triggered by everyday activities. Recurring and intense TNa pain results from localized demyelination within the affected nerve segment. The primary cause of TNa is typically vascular compression, with the superior cerebellar artery being the most common vessel.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the impact of intraoperative monitoring (IOM) on preserving facial nerve function during surgery for vestibular schwannomas.
- A total of 96 patients were analyzed, showing that those with IOM had better long-term outcomes compared to those without, despite initially worse results immediately after surgery.
- The findings suggest that recognizing the root exit zone (REZ) early during the procedure enhances the chances of achieving satisfactory facial nerve function outcomes.
A ganglioglioma versus a schwannoma: Which is in the sacral spine?
Int J Surg Case Rep
November 2024
Head of Neurosurgery Department, Faculty of Medical Sciences, Lebanese University, Lebanon.
Article Synopsis
- - The text discusses sacral spinal gangliogliomas, rare tumors that can cause symptoms like lower back pain and bladder issues, and are treated primarily through surgical resection due to their location near critical nerves.
- - A case study of a 66-year-old woman highlights the surgical challenges faced, where a misdiagnosis led to unexpected findings during surgery but ultimately resulted in successful near-total tumor removal and symptom relief.
- - The conclusion emphasizes the need for accurate diagnosis and careful surgical planning to minimize neurological risks, and it calls for ongoing research to enhance treatment strategies for these tumors.

Compression of the spinal cord at the cervical level of the spinal column is the hallmark of the disorder known as cervical myelopathy. The aberrant reflexes, hyperreflexia, pathologic reflexes, clumsiness in the hands and fingers, and disturbance of the gait are caused by this compression. It usually starts slowly, increases gradually, and eventually results in a functional decline.
