Abstract

10 patients with cervical neurinomas who had received intercapsular resection between April 2005 and March 2010 were examined in relation to age, sex, preoperative neurological symptoms, derived nerves, tumor size, and postoperative neurological symptoms.<br>The patients' ages ranged from 16-66 years with the average being 42.1 years. There were four men and six women involved in the examination. In the case of derived nerves, one case related respectively to the lingual nerve and the vagus nerve, three cases from the accessory nerve, three cases from the brachial plexus, and two cases from the cervical nerves. Although no correlation was observed between tumor size and preoperative neurological symptoms, we inferred that a larger tumor was associated with increased susceptibility to postoperative paralysis. We also ascribed postoperative neurological deficiency symptoms to surgical procedures.
