| description | Schwannomas are rare benign tumors that develop in Schwann cells lining peripheral
nerves. Schwannomas of the brachial plexus are especially rare, accounting for 5% of all
cases. Although several treatments can be considered, the exact method of treatment
is unclear owing to the scarcity and sporadic occurrence of schwannomas. Tumor resection
is performed in most cases, and nerve damage is inevitable in cases of neuroinvasive
schwannoma. In this case series, we present our successful use of transposition of
cable-grafted nerves for the treatment of schwannomas. We performed cable-grafted
nerve interposition in addition to tumor resection, leading to increased recovery of nerve
damage. To relieve postoperative symptoms and minimize sequelae, precise surgical tumor
resection followed by nerve interposition using a cable-grafted nerve may be recommended. |
