Neuroblastomes cervico-thoraciques : les avantages de l’approche transmanubriale avec épargne ostéo-musculaire.

We report the case of a child suffering from a neonatal cervicomediastinal neuroblastoma encasing the left subclavian artery and the left vertebral artery. There is only a few pediatric tumors extending from the neck to the upper part of the thorax. Because of the complex vascular and neurological anatomy of this area, the surgical excision of these cervicothoracic neuroblastomas is a real challenge. It is why, when we decided to propose a surgical management, we used the Transmanubrial Osteomuscular-Sparing Approach (TOSA), of which technique and benefits will be explained in this article.
