Abstract
Giant sacral schwannomas (GSS) are extremely rare. Complete resection of benign but neurologically devastating tumors has been recommended. A 48-year-old man with GSS had a tumor so large that a total sacrectomy was necessary. A special method of lumbar iliac fixation was devised. Two years and nine months after surgery, the patient was free of pain and ambulating with bilateral orthoses.Entities:
