    Author: Gómez Beldarrain M, Fernández Cantón G, García-Moncó JC.
    Journal: Neurologia; 2000 Apr; 15(4):182-3. PubMed ID: 10846888.
    Abstract:
    Hypoglossal schwannoma is an uncommon cause of 12th nerve palsy. We here report a pathologically proven case of left 12th nerve schwannoma in a 56-year-old woman who presented with progressive left tongue hemiatrophy and in whom cranial MRI disclosed a mass near the foramen jugular. Surgery showed a mass involving the hypoglossal nerve and the pathological examination was diagnostic of schwannoma.
