Schwannomas are benign encapsulated tumors of Schwan cells that grow slowly along the
peripheral myelin nerve fibers. Sacral spinal schwannomas are very rare, and the incidence …

Objective Giant sacral schwannomas are rare and difficult to treat. Unexpected neurologic
deficits after surgery and tumor recurrence should be considered when surgery is …

In this report, we describe a case with giant sacral schwannoma, which invasively extended
to the 4th lumbar spine and to the surrounding sacral and iliac bone. A 26-year-old female …

Objectives To present a rare case of a previously operated giant schwannoma located in the
sacrum, and to make some considerations regarding diagnostic modalities and treatment …

Intraspinal schwannomas localized in the sacrum are relatively infrequent, accounting for 1-
5% of all spinal axis schwannomas. They frequently grow to considerable size before …

Sacral and presacral schwannomas are often found incidentally, because they present with
vague symptoms or symptomless. Schwannoma occurring in this area occasionally presents …

Background Sacral schwannomas are very rare and typically have a benign nature. They
occur in a permissive anatomical location leading to nonspecific symptoms that can result in …

Schwannomas are mainly benign tumors arising from the Schwann cells of the peripheral
nerve sheath. These tumors can often be associated with non-specific symptoms, such as …

Sacral schwannomas are very rare tumors. There are merely around 50 cases reported in
the literature most of which are case presentations. In this study we present a 13-case …

Giant sacral tumors present unique challenges to surgeons because there is no established
consensus regarding the best treatment options. The authors report on the care of and …
