Abstract

AIM: Neurothekeomas are benign tumors of presumed neural sheath origin. They are primarily found in superficial soft tissues, located in the upper portion of the body. Here, we report a case of intracranial neurothekeoma. RESULTS: A 37-year-old female presented at our clinic with sudden-onset left hemifacial pain of varying duration. The physical and neurological examination findings were normal. The magnetic resonance imaging scan showed a mass compressing the pons and extending from the medial section of the left middle fossa to the posterior fossa. The patient was operated on using a left presigmoid transpetrosal approach and the mass was totally removed. CONCLUSION: Neurothekeomas, also known as nerve sheath myxomas, are rare benign tumors. There have been two previous cases reported with an intracranial location. The information presented here now represents the third such case in the literature.

Özet

AMAÇ: Nörotekomalar nöral kılıf orjinli iyi huylu tümörlerdir. Genellikle gövdenin üst kısımlarındaki yüzeyel dokularda rastlanır. Biz burada bir intrakranial nörotekoma vakasını sunuyoruz. BULGULAR: 37 yaşında kadın hasta kliniğimize, yüzünün sol yarısında ani başlayan ağrı şikayeti ile başvurdu. Fizik ve nörolojik muayene bulguları normaldi. Kranial MR da sol orta kranial fossadan posterior fossaya doğru uzanan ponsa bası yapan kitle saptandı. Hasta sol presigmoid transpetrosal yaklaşımla opere edildi ve kitle tamamen çıkartıldı. SONUÇ: Nörotekomalar, diğer bilinen adıyla sinir kılıfı miksomaları, iyi huylu tümörlerdir. Literatürde intrakranial lokalizasyonda bildirilen 2 vaka vardır ve biz burada 3. vakayı sunuyoruz.
