Schwannoma

Treatments

Schwannoma is a rare non-cancerous tumour that develops from Schwann cells in the nervous system, providing support to nerve cells. While typically benign, they can rarely become cancerous. Schwannomas primarily affect nerves connected to the brain and spinal cord, with vestibular schwannomas being common. Malignant schwannomas usually occur on the sciatic, brachial plexus, and sacral plexus nerves.

The exact causes remain unknown but may involve genetic factors. Schwannomas can occur in various body parts, including the head, neck, spine, and limbs. Different types include auditory nerve, trigeminal nerve, facial nerve, neck, brain, spinal cord, foot schwannomas, and cauda equina neuromas.

Symptoms vary depending on the location, severity, and type of Schwannoma. Common symptoms include numbness, muscle weakness, tingling sensations, pain, and burning sensations. Vestibular Schwannoma may cause hearing problems, imbalance, and ringing in the ear. Facial Schwannoma can lead to facial paralysis, difficulty swallowing, and taste sensations. Sciatic nerve Schwannoma may result in lower back pain and radiating pain down the leg.
