Cervical Schwannoma camouflaged by cervical intervertebral disc prolapse-A case report.
Introduction: Cervical prolapsed intervertebral disc is one of the common conditions causing cervical myeloradiculopathy. Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF) is the standard line of management for the same. Intradural neurogenic origin tumors are relatively rare and can present with features of myeloradiculopathy. Radiological imaging plays important role in diagnosis of such pathologies.
Case report: We report a patient with C5-6 cervical disc prolapse that presented with radiculopathy symptoms in the right upper limb, which was refractory to conservative care. He underwent a C5-6 ACDF and reported complete relief from symptoms at 4 weeks. He developed deteriorating symptoms over the next 10 weeks and presented at 14 weeks follow-up with severe myeloradiculopathy symptoms on the left upper limb with upper limb weakness. A fresh MRI identified an intradural extramedullary tumor with cystic changes at the index surgery level. This was treated with tumor excision and histopathology confirmed a diagnosis of schwannoma. Simultaneous presence of cord signal changes with disc herniation obscured the cystic schwannoma which became apparent later on contrast enhanced MRI imaging.
Conclusion: Careful review of preoperative imaging and contrast MRI study may help in diagnosing cystic schwannomas with concomitant cervical disc herniations that have cord signal changes.
