Madinah - Mouwasat Hospital
Mouwasat Hospital in Madinah proudly announces the successful completion of a complex microsurgical procedure performed by Dr. Ahmed El Shazly, Consultant in Orthopedic Surgery and Microsurgical Hand Procedures.
A 41-year-old patient presented with chronic pain in the right leg, numbness, and altered sensation in the sole of the foot for over five years. The pain worsened with pressure or touch and intensified at night, causing severe insomnia. Despite consulting multiple physicians, the condition remained undiagnosed.
Clinical examination and advanced imaging (X-ray and MRI) revealed a Tibial Nerve Schwannoma, a benign nerve sheath tumor located in the posterior compartment of the leg. This nerve controls foot movement and sole sensation. Continuous pressure from the tumor posed a risk of loss of sensation or motor weakness in the foot and toes.
A Tibial Nerve Schwannoma is a rare, benign tumor originating from Schwann cells that form the nerve sheath. It affects the tibial nerve, which is responsible for foot movement and sensation in the sole. While the tumor grows slowly, its enlargement can compress nerve fibers, leading to:
Dr. El Shazly successfully performed a microsurgical excision of the tumor (5×3 cm) while preserving nerve fibers. The patient was discharged the next day without complications and experienced significant pain relief and restored sensation within days. Histopathology confirmed the complete removal of the schwannoma.
This achievement reflects Mouwasat Hospital’s dedication to advanced neurosurgical and orthopedic techniques, ensuring accurate diagnosis and minimally invasive procedures for optimal patient outcomes—aligned with our vision of delivering world-class healthcare.
