Nerve sheath tumor can be hanged in neurosurgery, thoracic surgery and general surgery.
Nerve sheath tumor is a disease caused by abnormal proliferation of Schwann cells, which can occur in intracranial, spinal nerves and peripheral nerves, and it can be single or multiple, and the common clinical cases include acoustic neurinoma, trigeminal nerve sheath tumor, intravertebral nerve sheath tumor, etc. It mostly involves the sensory nerve roots, but seldom involves the motor nerve roots, and the clinical symptom is related to the specific involved nerves.
Nerve sheath tumors are most common in middle-aged people aged 40-59 years old, and are slightly more common in women. The treatment of this disease is mainly based on surgical treatment, and directional radiosurgery can be considered for postoperative recurrence. Patients can mainly consult the neurosurgery department for treatment. In addition, for nerve sheath tumors occurring in other parts of the body, such as the thoracic cavity and abdominal cavity, patients can also choose the thoracic surgery department and the general surgery department to consult the neurosurgery department.
When a nerve sheath tumor develops, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. After evaluating the condition by the doctor, a reasonable treatment plan will be formulated to avoid delaying the condition.
