Benign schwannoma of the obturator nerve: a case report

V Scotto et al. Am J Obstet Gynecol. 1998 Sep.

Abstract

We describe a schwannoma of the obturator nerve in a woman 66 years old. It was diagnosed only postoperatively because of the aspecificity of the symptoms. The difficulty of making a correct diagnosis during surgery is discussed, and the potential serious consequences of total excision of the nerve are described.
