Spinal Schwannomas: Case Series and Literature Review

Year 2019, Issue: 2, 311 - 315, 01.06.2019

Abstract

Objectives: Schwannomas are the most frequently seen primary spinal tumors with a 0.3-0.5/100.000 incidence. For non-syndromic spinal schwannomas, the current treatment modality is a gross total resection with the preservation of neurovascular structures. We aim to show the postoperative neurologic and radiologic findings of our patients with non-syndromic spinal schwannomas. Patients and Methods: This retrospective case series have 82 patients. Patients were followed up on the 45th,180th and 365th days postoperatively. In the light of Karnofsky performance test, patients have been evaluated for pain, sensory and motor deficits. Results: Intra and preoperative complications occured only in 2 patients.Conclusion: Our findings show that total resection of non-syndromic spinal schwannomas is an effective and safe surgical approach

Spinal Şıvannomalar: Vaka Serisi ve Literatür Taraması

Year 2019, Issue: 2, 311 - 315, 01.06.2019

Abstract

Amaç: Şıvannomalar yılda 0.3-0.5/100.000 insidans ile en sık görülen primer omurga tümörleridir. Sendromik olmayan spinal şıvannomalar için güncel tedavi yöntemi tümörün nörovasküler yapılar korunarak total çıkarımıdır. Bu makale, kliniğimizdeki sendromik olmayan spinal şıvannoma vakalarının tedaviden sonraki nörolojik ve radyolojik sonuçlarını rapor etmeyi amaçlamaktadır.Hastalar ve Yöntemler:Bu retrospektif vaka serisi, sendromik olmayan spinal şıvannomu olan 82 hasta ile yapılmıştır. Hastaların verileri hastane kayıtlarından bulunmuştur. Tümör çıkarım ameliyatı sonrası nörolojik muayene ve kırk beşinci, yüz sekseninci ve üç yüz altmışıncı günlerde takibi yapılmıştır. Karnofsky performans durum değerlendirmesi ışığında; hastaların acı, duyu ve motor zayıflıkları nörolojik iyileşmeyi göstermek için puanlandırılmıştır. Bulgular: Ameliyat öncesinde ve sonrasındaki komplikasyon sadece iki hastada gerçekleşmiştir. Sonuç: Bulgularımız, sendromik olmayan spinal şıvannomaların total reseksiyonunun, etkin ve güvenilir bir cerrahi girişim olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır
