Intraoperative monitoring of an unusual brachial plexus tumor.

摘要: Abstract This case illustrates the importance of intraoperative monitoring neuronal function to help separate tumor tissue from neural in a 54-year-old patient with left shoulder pain resulting desmoid tumor. Preoperative nerve conduction and electromyographic studies showed lesion lateral cord brachial plexus, which was found be intimately involved mass splayed into very thin effaced sheet tissue. Stimulation tumor/nerve proximal impossible due invasion plexus by The technique that adapted for this unusual presentation stimulate itself record compound muscle action potentials distally. With described, subtotal resection an aggressive fibromatosis enmeshed possible, excellent relief symptoms retention functional capabilities extremity were achieve.
