BACKGROUND: Schwannomas are benign peripheral nerve sheath tumors which grow slowly and are considered common peripheral nerve tumors. The presentation varies between painful masses, sensory complaints or rarely motor deficits. They are commonly capsulated and can be diagnosed clinically and using imaging studies as ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging. Surgery is the mainstay for treatment. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the surgical technique of resection of motor nerve schwannomas and the clinical outcome. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In our study, we had 10 cases of painful schwannomas of the limbs presented to our instistute in Alexandria Main University Hospital and affiliated hospitals. RESULTS: All our patients had resolution of their symptoms following surgery with no permanent deficits and no postoperative recurrences. CONCLUSION: Surgical resection is a safe and effective tool for managing patients harbouring peripheral nerves schwannomas with good postoperative outcomes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
