Virtual reality (VR) is a tool to aid with pre-procedural modeling and practicing for complex procedures with anatomic variation. Here we demonstrate a case of a 64-year-old woman with neuroforaminal compression from a schwannoma that was modeled in VR in order to facilitate pre-procedural training prior to a transforaminal epidural steroid injection. The modeling session allowed for determination of the optimal fluoroscopic angulation to avoid any contact with the mass or nerve root during the procedure. This case study demonstrates a way to incorporate VR in pre-procedural planning and practicing for both learners and experienced interventionalists.
虚拟现实（VR）是一种有助于对具有解剖变异的复杂手术进行术前建模和练习的工具。在此，我们展示了一例64岁女性，其患有神经鞘瘤导致神经孔受压，通过VR对该病例进行建模，以便在经椎间孔硬膜外类固醇注射术前促进术前训练。建模过程确定了最佳透视角度，以避免在手术过程中与肿块或神经根发生任何接触。本案例研究展示了一种将VR纳入术前规划和练习的方法，适用于学习者和经验丰富的介入医生。
