Objective:
Documentation of three-dimensional (3D) images of a giant sacral schwannoma with intrapelvic expansion.
Setting:
Nagoya University, Nagoya, Japan.
Results:
3D computed tomography (3D CT) showed a destructed bony region clearly. 3D CT angiography clarified the positional relationship between tumor and iliac arteries. Resection procedure was safely completed based on these 3D evaluations.
Conclusion:
3D images were helpful to make a surgical plan and to complete this complicated resection combined with sacroiliac reconstruction.
