Case Report: A Novel Lateral Approach to the C7, C8, and T1 Intervertebral Foramina for Resection of Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Neoplasia, Followed by Adjunctive Radiotherapy, in Three Dogs

Abstract: This case report describes the diagnosis, management and outcome of three dogs with peripheral nerve sheath tumors (PNSTs) involving the brachial plexus, C7 (case 1), C8 (case 2), and C8 and T1 (case 3) spinal nerves and nerve roots with intrathoracic invasion. Surgical resection required thoracic limb amputation and removal of the first rib, facilitating a novel lateral approach to the spinal nerves and foramina in all cases. This was followed by hemilaminectomy and rhizotomy in cases 1 and 2. Adjunctive radi… Show more

“…There is very limited information on operative complications outside of occasional case reports. 8 Additionally, since the Brehm et al (1995) retrospective study was published, there have been considerable advancements in diagnostic imaging and critical care medicine. The primary objective of this study was to describe the surgical complications for dogs with MPNST arising from either the brachial or lumbosacral plexus nerves that underwent resection as part of their treatment.…”

“…Subjectively, although plexus MPNSTs are relatively infrequently diagnosed in comparison to other soft tissue sarcomas (STS), many cases that present for treatment ultimately undergo surgical resection, often requiring limb amputation with or without a laminectomy procedure. There is very limited information on operative complications outside of occasional case reports 8 . Additionally, since the Brehm et al (1995) retrospective study was published, there have been considerable advancements in diagnostic imaging and critical care medicine.…”
