Abstract: BackgroundThe appearance of dumbbell neuroma of the first thoracic root is extremely rare. The extradural component of a T1-dumbbell neuroma may present as an apical mass. The diagnosis of hand weakness is complex and may be delayed in T1-neuroma because of absence of the palpable cervical mass. One-stage removal of a T1-root neuroma and its intrathoracic extension demanded an extended posterior midline approach in the sitting position.Case presentationA 51-year old man had suffered a traumatic partial tendon … Show more

“…Mediastinal neurogenic tumors are commonly situated in the posterior costovertebral sulcus or in the chest wall [7]. When neurogenic tumors are located at the upper thoracic paravertebral region, it may extent the ipsilateral pulmonary apex and cause to Horner's syndrome [8]. The differential diagnosis of apical neurogenic tumors from Pancoast carcinoma is important.…”

“…In addition to standard scientific format, we have also published video findings from Professor Roman Bošnjak (additional file 1, Bošnjak et al [ 1 ]) and Powerpoint presentations sent by Professor Sayed Rayegani from the Iranian Congress of Electrodiagnosis (additional file 1, Rayegani et al [ 2 ]). Both of these are exciting formats that allow in-depth presentation of complex ideas in ways that enhance our insight.…”

“…A patient with a dumbbell tumor of the T1 nerve presents with motor weakness of the hand, unlike other thoracic dumbbell tumors, because the T1 nerve root composes the lower trunk of the brachial plexus with the eighth cervical nerve root. Horner' syndrome, caused by a dumbbell tumor of the T1 nerve root, has also been reported [ 2 3 ]. The risk for vascular injury during tumor removal has been noted because plexus tumors, such as dumbbell tumors of the T1 nerve root, can adhere to major vessels [ 4 5 ].…”
