We report on a 46-year-old woman with a sciatic nerve schwannoma. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a well-defined, lobulated, intensely enhancing mass posterior to the left hip joint along the left sciatic nerve suggestive of neurogenic tumour. The Tinnel sign was positive on the posterior aspect of the left thigh. The tumour was excised without neural damage. Postoperatively, the patient showed no signs of any neurological deficit, and recovery was uneventful.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
