Schwannoma

Schwannoma is a benign tumor that develops from schwannoma, nerve tissue cells that form sheaths around nerves. Schwannomas can occur anywhere in the body where there are nerve endings, such as the face, neck, arms, legs, etc. Schwannomas are common in children and teenagers, as well as people over 50 years of age.

Schwannoma can grow slowly or quickly, and some can become large and cause discomfort. Treatment for schwannomas may include surgical removal, radiation therapy, or chemotherapy. Sometimes schwannomas can only be treated with surgery.

One of the most common types of schwannomas is pleonast, which can develop on almost any part of the body. Pleonasts may appear as soft tumors that often have multiple connections to adjacent tissue. In some cases, pleonastes develop around nerve endings, which can cause them to shrink and lose sensation.

Currently, most schwannomas are diagnosed using computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or other imaging techniques. If a schwanna is detected and confirmed, the doctor can determine the type of tumor, size and location. This will allow you to choose the most effective treatment method.

Surgical removal of schwannoma is considered the most effective treatment. However, this may rarely be necessary for small tumors. For large schwannams, the use of radiation therapy may be required. Chemotherapy may be used if the schwannaya has grown around a nerve, causing loss of function.

One approach to surgical treatment of schwannoma is partial or complete removal of the tumor. The second approach, nerve sparing, can help preserve sensory function on the affected side of the body. If a nerve is completely removed, problems with balance, coordination, and sensation on the affected side may occur.
