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

Case Details 

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. 

Accurate Diagnosis 

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. 

What is Tibial Nerve Schwannoma? 

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: 

  • Chronic leg pain 
  • Numbness or loss of sensation in the sole 
  • Weakness in foot and toe movement 

Microsurgical Tumor Removal 

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.

Dammam – Mouwasat Hospital 

With the grace of Allah, the Neurosurgery Department at Mouwasat Hospital in Dammam successfully performed a high‑risk and rare microsurgical procedure to remove a large skull base tumor measuring more than 5 cm in the posterior cranial fossa, using the latest advanced neurosurgical technologies. 

Case Details and Diagnosis 

A 44‑year‑old female patient was referred to Mouwasat Hospital from another healthcare facility. Comprehensive clinical evaluation and advanced imaging revealed a large tumor located at the skull base, close to critical neurological centers—necessitating an urgent and highly precise surgical intervention due to its sensitive location. 

Microsurgical Tumor Removal 

The surgery was performed under the supervision of Dr. Omar Al‑Falaki, Consultant Neurosurgeon
with the support of a specialized multidisciplinary surgical team. 

The tumor was completely resected using: 

  • A high‑resolution surgical microscope 
  • An advanced surgical navigation system 
  • Continuous intraoperative motor function monitoring (IONM) 

The procedure lasted more than 10 continuous hours, ensuring accurate and safe removal of the tumor while preserving surrounding neurological functions. 

Postoperative Rehabilitation 

Following surgery, the patient underwent an intensive rehabilitation program at the hospital’s Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Center. By the grace of Allah, she made a remarkable recovery, regaining full mobility and returning to her family to resume her daily life normally. 

Mouwasat’s Commitment to Excellence 

This medical achievement reflects Mouwasat Hospitals’ commitment to providing advanced neurosurgical services using state‑of‑the‑art global technologies. It also highlights Mouwasat’s dedication to recruiting distinguished medical expertise and highly specialized subspecialties—aligning with Mouwasat Medical Services Company’s vision of delivering world‑class, patient‑centered healthcare.
