Mononeuropathies The presentation of CH in peripheral nerves presenting as mononeuropathies is rare. In some conditions also the term neuroleukemiosis has been suggested [ 21 ]. [omicsonline.org]

In contrast to these monophasic presentations, other patients may present with a progressive course. [painspa.co.uk]

At presentation patients ranged in age from 19 to 71 years (mean 47 15 years), and neurofibromatosis was present in eight patients (32%). [dx.doi.org]

Uncommonly, prostate cancer can present as a lumbosacral plexopathy occurring through direct pelvic spread. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Careful workup, surgical technique, and attention to pathological diagnosis optimize management. [dx.doi.org]

Workup The clinical diagnosis of NLP is confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) scanning of the affected areas. [emedicine.medscape.com]

What is the Prognosis of Spinal Schwannoma? (Outcomes/Resolutions) The prognosis of Spinal Schwannoma (benign tumor) is excellent, if the tumor can be removed without damaging the underlying nerve. [dovemed.com]

Certain factors affect prognosis (chance of recovery) and treatment options. The prognosis (chance of recovery) and treatment options for primary brain and spinal cord tumors depend on the following: The type and grade of the tumor. [my.clevelandclinic.org]

The fact that prognosis of patients published prior to 1970 is unchanged to the prognosis in the most recent publications warrants the start of such an effort. [nature.com]

The probable etiology of tumor spreading along prostatic nerves into the lumbosacral plexus (i.e., perineural spread) is discussed as are the potential mechanisms for this unusual mode of cancer dissemination. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

(Etiology) The exact cause and mechanism of Spinal Schwannoma formation, in a majority of cases, is unknown; they are known to be the result of sporadic mutations. This implies that they do not have a preceding family history of the condition. [dovemed.com]

A viral etiology has been proposed while some cases have been reported to occur following vaccinations. 7 Hypertrophy and diffuse hyperintensity on T2W images of the plexus components have been described in cases of chronic inflammatory demyelinating [appliedradiology.com]

Identifying the etiology of pain is essential to its management. Clinicians treating patients with cancer should recognize the common cancer pain syndromes. [jpalliativecare.com]

The syndrome refers to a rare set of symptoms resulting from inflammation of unknown etiology of the brachial plexus. [slideshare.net]
