Sciatica due to Schwannoma at the Sciatic Notch

Abstract: Schwannomas are rarely seen on the sciatic nerve and can cause sciatica. In this case report we aimed to present an unusual location of schwannoma along sciatic nerve that causes sciatica. A 60-years-old-man was admitted to us with complaints of pain on his thigh and paresthesia on his foot. Radiography of the patient revealed a solitary lesion on the sciatic nerve. The lesion was excised and the symptoms resolved after surgery.

“…On the other hand, schwannomas are placed in such a way that nerve fascicles are being pushed to the periphery, allowing their safe preservation following excision of the schwannoma 2, 46 . Intra-operative nerve monitoring helps immensely to outline the course of the nerve and define the boundary of the tumor during its removal.…”
