ROMERO-LUNA, Daria Irina et al. Schwannoma in the puerperium. Rev. mex. anestesiol. [online]. 2022, vol.45, n.2, pp.142-144. Epub 29-Ago-2022. ISSN 0484-7903. https://doi.org/10.35366/103891.
It is presented a case of a 48-year-old patient, previously healthy, who underwent cesarean section under epidural block and presented data of spinal cord compression in the immediate puerperium. The initial diagnosis was a complication due to the neuraxial anesthesia. Afterwards, the MRI reported an intraspinal tumor at the T9-T10 level, which was removed with a histological diagnosis of schwannoma. The patient´s postoperative evolution was favorable, with no neurological sequelae. Schwannomas are benign tumors, whose main manifestation is symptoms of spinal cord compression.
