  • Title: [A post-styloid mass revealing a parapharyngeal schwannoma].
    Author: Morvan JB, Bizeau A, Vatin L, Cathelinaud O, Curto CL, Verdalle P, Guelfucci B.
    Journal: Rev Laryngol Otol Rhinol (Bord); 2015; 136(2):85-8. PubMed ID: 27483582.
    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: The schwannoma of the glossopharyngeal nerve is a rare etiology among the tumor masses developed in the parapharyngeal space. CASE REPORT: We report the case of a 33 years old woman in whom a large schwannoma of the left glossopharyngeal nerve was discovered incidentally on a brain MRI. Respiratory evolutionary prognosis imposed trans-oral surgical treatment. DISCUSSION: We discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic strategy for the benign tumors of the parapharyngeal space. CONCLUSION: The schwannoma of the glossopharyngeal nerve is a benign rare lesion. The difficulty lies on the surgical strategy and the choice of the approach. The functional suites are marked by difficulty swallowing and require intensive speech therapy.
