This report discusses the clinical features of a patient who presented with an L-3 radiculopathy in whom magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated what appeared to be a nerve sheath tumor in an extraforaminal location on the L-3 nerve root. A lateral intermuscular approach to excise the lesion was used to preserve the facet joint. Histological examination of the intraneural lesion revealed degenerative disc fragments. The authors hypothesize that the structure of the annulus fibrosus in the upper lumbar region predisposes these regions to lateral herniation. Furthermore, it is proposed that the lateral disc herniation allowed the disc fragments to erode through the epineurium of the neural sheath. This case expands the differential diagnosis of fusiform enlargement of nerves to include disc herniation.

Nerve Sheath

Background: In neurosurgical practice, we rarely encounter hybrid nerve sheath tumors (HNST) in the orbit. We recently had a patient of this rare tumor. We believe that this is the first report where we resected the tumor transcranially. Case Description: A 54-year-old male presented with the left proptosis and intraconal tumor of 43 mm. We performed fronto-orbital craniotomy to resect the tumor mass. His proptosis completely improved and discharged home with a modified Rankin Scale of 1. Conclusion: Transcranial resection of orbital HNST was a safe and effective way to treat. Since we do not have much data regarding this rare tumor, we need to accumulate more cases.
