    Abstract:
    A patient with malignant schwannoma arising from the cervical vagus nerve has been described. Treatment consisted of wide en bloc resection of the tumor and adjacent carotid artery. A subclavian-middle cerebral arterial bypass procedure, using a saphenous vein graft, was performed. A course of postoperative radiotherapy was administered. The patient remains without evidence of disease 11 months following therapy.
