Treatment of Sympathetic Nerve Neurofibroma of the Neck and Approach to the Postoperative Pain
Journal Title: Journal of Academic Research in Medicine - Year 2020, Vol 10, Issue 1
Abstract
Peripheral nerve sheath tumors (PNST) are a kind of neuro-ectodermal tumors. Neurofibromas are benign PNST originating from Schwann cells, fibroblast-like cells, and perineural cells. The origin of symptomatic neurofibromas may be many parts of the body, but about 25% of them originate from the head and neck region. Postoperative pain is a quite common condition in these tumors of which primary treatment is surgical excision. Postoperative treatment of this neuropathic pain which is unresponsive to many painkillers is still an important problem. In this case study, we discussed our applications and results of a 64-year-old female patient with sympathetic nerve neurofibroma to relieve the postoperative pain.
