Multiple Lower Extremity Mononeuropathies by Segmental Schwannomatosis: A Case Report

Abstract: Schwannoma is an encapsulated nerve sheath tumor that is distinct from neurofibromatosis. It is defined as the occurrence of multiple schwannomas without any bilateral vestibular schwannomas. A 46-year-old man with multiple schwannomas involving peripheral nerves of the ipsilateral lower extremity presented with neurologic symptoms. Electrodiagnostic studies revealed multiple mononeuropathies involving the left sciatic, common peroneal, tibial, femoral and superior gluteal nerves. Histologic findings confirmed… Show more

“…• Confusion with NF2, presumptive schwannomatosis, 4 and familial schwannomatosis [23][24][25] • Two studies 2,26 were performed before the release of the 2005 consensus statement, 1 and other studies did not ensure the patients met the criteria for definite schwannomatosis, particularly regarding the lack of systematic brain MRI to formally eliminate NF2, [26][27][28] being < 18 years of age at diagnosis, 25,[29][30][31][32][33] and the presence of intracranial lesions 34,35 • Two studies were original articles with no individual descriptive cases 1,36 Approximately 10 to 15% of patients with schwannomatosis have a family history. 17,37 The remaining 85 to 90% have sporadic disease.…”

“…Takođe, u odnosu na švanomatozu, neurofibromatoza tip II predstavlja ozbiljno, progresivno oboljenje, koje neretko ugrožava život pacijenta 4 . Bol je čest simptom kod švanomatoze, dok se motorna slabost retko javlja 5 .…”

“…The superior gluteal nerve and inferior gluteal nerves are rarely damaged in isolation except when there are iatrogenic causes. Total hip arthroplasty is reported as a frequent cause of superior gluteal nerve neuropathy, whereas trauma, iliac artery aneurysm, intraabdominal and intrapelvic masses, endometriosis, schwannoma, sports injuries, priformis muscle hypertrophy, or extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy are seldom reasons (1,3,(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9). Patients with superior gluteal nerve injuries complain about burning, stinging and pain spreading to the hips, the lateral side of thighs and groin.…”
