BACKGROUND: The rarity and anatomical complexity of brachial plexus tumors (BPTs) impose many challenges onto surgeons performing surgical resections, especially when these tumors invade the cervicothoracic spine. Treatment choices and surgery outcomes heavily depend on anatomical location and tumor type. METHODS: The authors performed an extensive review of the published literature (PubMed) focusing on "brachial plexus tumors" that identified invasion of the cervicothoracic spine. RESULTS: The search yielded 2774 articles pertaining to "brachial plexus tumors". Articles not in the English language or involving cervicothoracic spinal invasion were excluded. CONCLUSIONS: Recent research has shown that the most common method used to resect tumors of the proximal roots is the dorsal subscapular approach. Despite its association with high morbidity rate, this technique offers excellent exposure to the spinal roots and intraforaminal portion of the spinal nerve. The dorsal approach is used to resect recurrent lower trunk tumors and dumbbell-shaped neurofibromas, yet it is also the least common overall approach used in brachial plexus tumor resections. The ventral or anterior technique is commonly used to resect tumors at the cord to division level, and root to trunk level. Motor complications, transient nerve palsy, and bleeding are among the most common complications of the anterior supraclavicular approach. Further controlled studies are needed to fully determine the optimal surgical approach used to obtain the best outcomes and least complications for each type of brachial plexus tumor.
