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.
