Solitary thoracic intramedullary spinal neurofibroma microsurgically extirpated via recapping T-saw laminoplasty.
Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery 2017 January
We report the case of a 40-year-old female presenting with back pain that was complicated by a solitary intramedullary spinal cord mass at the T10-11 levels, confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography myelography. Microsurgical en bloc extirpation of the tumor approached through a recapping T-saw laminoplasty of T10 was done, and histopathology findings revealed a diagnosis of neurofibroma. Solitary spinal neurofibroma is one of the rarest tumors involving the spinal cord and is very adherent for the lack of a well-defined capsule, requiring careful dissection under microscope magnification for successful en bloc resection. Recapping T-saw laminoplasty affords both maximal exposure and anatomic reconstruction postextirpation, avoiding most postoperative spinal complications.
