A Rare Case of Cervical Vagus Nerve Schwannoma in an Adult Patient: Diagnostic and Therapeutic Strategy
A C TSchwannomas originating from the Schwann cells are a rather uncommon benign tumor.Schwannomas often don't cause any symptoms, but larger tumors may cause vague symptoms because they squeeze nearby anatomical tissues.The pathognomonic symptoms of vagus nerve schwannomas are isolated neck masses, hoarseness of voice and paroxysmal coughing that occurs upon palpation.Imaging tests may be quite important in making a difficult preoperative diagnosis.The preferred course of treatment is surgery that removes the tumor entirely.Nerve damage during surgical resection is associated with significant morbidity.we report a case of vagus nerve schwannoma in a male adult patient in this study.
