ABSTRACT
Usually, a central nervous system schwannomas originates in the peripheral nerves inside a venous structure. They are extremely rare and there is a lack of literature or publications about it. We present the first case report of a schwannoma inside the inferior cava vein, invading the atrium and right ventricle, at the Cardiovascular Surgery Service of “Saturnino Lora” Hospital, in Santiago de Cuba. It was presented in a 50-year-old woman, with a health history of right heart failure progressive symptoms. The patient underwent surgery with extracorporeal circulation and a satisfactory evolution. This type of injuries should be managed by trained personnel, with extensive knowledge of surgical techniques and vascular anatomy.REFERENCES
