| Abstract |
Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs) are aggressive soft tissue sarcomas which commonly arise from neurofibromatosis type 1. Lung metastases of the tumors are well-known, but intraoperative cerebral tumor embolisms of MPNSTs have not been reported in literature. A 52-year-old female patient with neurofibromatosis type 1 underwent a right lung partial resection for lung tumors. She was extubated after adequate recovery of spontaneous breathing; however, she could not respond to verbal commands. In the intensive care unit, her neurological examination revealed conjugate eye deviation, right hemiparalysis, and aphasia. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed acute cerebral ischemia, so she underwent an endovascular thrombectomy. The histopathological diagnosis of emboli was a MPNST, which was identical with that of the resected lung tumor. We report the first case of delayed emergence caused by a cerebral tumor embolism of MPNST during partial lung resection. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 31 May 2023.
All research outputs
#15,635,201
of 23,861,036 outputs
Outputs from JA Clinical Reports
#73
of 170 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#171,883
of 322,438 outputs
Outputs of similar age from JA Clinical Reports
#5
of 8 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,861,036 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 170 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 1.8. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 51% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 322,438 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 8 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 3 of them.
