Extradural schwannoma arising from high cervical spinal root is a rare entity in children. We report a case of extradural cervical schwannoma in a 14-year-old boy.
Our patient is a 14-year-old Madhesi boy presenting with swelling in the posterior triangle of his neck. The radiological features suggested solitary extradural cervical schwannoma which was confirmed later by histopathological findings. There were no postoperative neurological complications in our patient.
Extradural spinal schwannoma is a benign tumor. Gross total resection with good clinical outcome can be achieved with minimal risks.
起源于高位颈神经根的硬膜外神经鞘瘤在儿童中是一种罕见的疾病。我们报告一例14岁男孩的硬膜外颈神经鞘瘤病例。
我们的患者是一名14岁的马德西男孩,表现为颈部后三角区肿胀。影像学特征提示为孤立性硬膜外颈神经鞘瘤,后来经组织病理学检查得以证实。我们的患者术后没有出现神经并发症。
硬膜外脊神经鞘瘤是一种良性肿瘤。通过最小的风险可以实现肿瘤全切并获得良好的临床结果。
