Schwannoma da goteira olfatória: relato de caso

Abstract: RESUMO -Schwannomas intracranianos não associados a nervos cranianos são incomuns e raramente encontrados na região subfrontal. Apresentamos raro caso de schwannoma da goteira olfatória, acometendo paciente de 27 anos, masculino, com quadro iniciado há 1 ano com perda da olfação e cefaléia. Ao exame de admissão, apresentava papiledema bilateral e anosmia. Tomografia computadorizada de Cranio (TC) revelou processo expansivo bifrontal hipodenso ao parênquima, com aspecto multicístico, sem captação do contraste i… Show more

“…As shown in Table 1, of the 49 documented schwannomas, 16 (33%) extended into the nasal cavity 6,7,8,10,12,13,19,21,23,24,26. They included four intranasal schwannomas that extended into the anterior cranial fossa 6,7,8,10.…”

“…They commonly arise from the vestibular nerve and less commonly from the fifth, ninth, and tenth cranial nerves. Schwannomas of the olfactory groove or subfrontal region are rare; 49 cases have been reported to date 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26. Because of their rarity, these tumors can be misdiagnosed preoperatively as meningioma or olfactory neuroblastoma.…”

“…Schwann cells cover unmyelinated axons of the nerve fibers up to 0.5 mm before the olfactory bulb, and OECs, likewise, until two external layers of the olfactory bulb, to facilitate axonal growth. [11][12][13] On MRI exams, these lesions appear as a well-circumscribed and encapsulated mass, expressing low to intermediate signal intensity on T1-weighted images and high signal intensity on T2-weighted images. The hyperintensity on T2-weighted images may either be homogeneous or show a target sign with high signal intensity in the periphery of the lesion.…”

“…Up to now, both OECs and Schwann cells are positive for S-100 and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), and negative for EMA. 9,12,13 Schwann/2E is considered a specific marker of Schwann cells, 19 and Leu7 may not be considered a tool to discriminate between OECTs and OGSs. 2 Generalizing the knowledge of surgical strategies from OGMs to OGSs due to their similarities, identical treatment goal and shortage of literature regarding these tumors, it is noticed that the transcranial approach (TCA) is still preferred to the endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA).…”

“…Além disso, geralmente mostram alterações genéticas e epigenéticas, que alteram a expressão ou função de genes-chave que regulam os processos celulares fundamentais, como crescimento, sobrevida e senescência (Kumar, Abbas, & Aster, 2013 O padrão Antoni A é caracterizado por organização compacta e paralela de células, com núcleos alongados e sem actínia. No padrão Antoni B as células apresentam-se de forma desorganizada, com núcleos arredondados, ovalados ou alongados, com aspecto em teia de aranha (Souza, et al, 2003).…”
