  • Title: An extensive cervical vagal nerve schwannoma: a case report.
    Author: Chiun KC, Tang IP, Prepageran N, Jayalakshmi P.
    Journal: Med J Malaysia; 2012 Jun; 67(3):342-4. PubMed ID: 23082434.
    Abstract:
    Vagal nerve schwannoma is extremely rare. The majority of cases present with a slow growing neck swelling without neurological deficit. Magnetic resonance imaging is the gold standard investigation to establish a pre-operative diagnosis. We report a case of a 32-year-old man with an extensive right vagal nerve schwannoma involving the right jugular foramen and parapharyngeal space. The tumour was resected via a transcervical approach. Complete excision of the tumour is the key to prevent recurrence.
