Abstract

This case study demonstrates a positive surgical treatment result in a female patient with giant neck and right hemithorax neurofibroma complicated by second thoracic vertebral body destruction, tracheal and brachiocephalic vessel compression, and Horner’s syndrome. The success of treatment became possible due to the joint tactics of thoracic and vertebral surgeons. Total second thoracic vertebral body destruction induced by a tumorous process was intraoperatively verified. There was elimination of Horner’s syndrome and brachiocephalic vessel compression in the early postoperative period. No neurological symptoms occurred with a metallic prosthetic implant of the thoracic vertebra. Twelve months after surgery, the patient felt satisfactory and had no signs of recurrent neurofibroma.
