Zusammenfassung
Schwannome sind seltene, meist gutartige Nervenscheidentumoren. Bis zu 45% aller Schwannome treten in der Kopf-Hals-Region auf. Im Parapharyngealraum können sie von den kaudalen Hirnnerven IX, X, XI und XII oder dem sympathischen Grenzstrang ausgehen. Wir berichten über den Fall einer Patientin mit synchronem Schwannom des N. vagus und des sympathischen Grenzstrangs ohne Vorliegen einer Neurofibromatose.
Abstract
Schwannomas are rare neural sheath tumors which are generally benign. Up to 45% of all schwannomas originate in the head and neck region. In the parapharyngeal space (PPS) they may arise from any of the lower cranial nerves IX, X, XI and XII or from the cervical sympathetic chain. We report a unique case of a synchronous schwannoma of the vagal nerve and the cervical sympathetic chain in a patient without neurofibromatosis.
