Nerve Cable Graft Interposition in Patients with Brachial Plexus Schwannoma: Case Reports

Schwannomas are rare benign tumors that develop in Schwann cells lining peripheral nerves. Schwannomas of the brachial plexus are especially rare, accounting for 5% of all cases. Although several treatments can be considered, the exact method of treatment is unclear owing to the scarcity and spor...
