right cervical plexus tumor
Transverse view of magnetic resonance imaging with dye showing in red a tumor of the right cervical nerve plexus at the outlet of the neck of a 38-year-old woman.
Live images during surgery showing the location of the tumor and determining the location of the surgical incision to explore the tumor. Then it was completely removed and the nerve plexus was completely freed without any damage to the nerves. After the surgery, the patient recovered well and is leading a normal life.
