Journal Title: International Journal of Health Sciences and Research - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 12
Abstract
Schwannomas are rare, slow-growing, benign tumours arising from Schwann cells. Less than 1% of schwannomas become malignant. Schwannomas most commonly occur in the head and neck involving the brachial plexus and spinal nerves. The upper and lower limbs are affected less often. [1] Here we report a case of a 52 yrs old female patient came with the c/o radiating pain with tingling, numbness in left lower limb which was undiagnosed for almost 8 years.MRI plain and contrast study of left lower limb revealed peripheral nerve schwannoma of tibial nerve in lower 1/3rd of leg. Surgical excision was done for the same with total resolution of symptoms.
