Postauricular Approach for Enucleation of Cervical Vagal Schwannomas.
Head Neck
December 2024
Department of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, CHA Bundang Medical Center, CHA University, Seongnam, Republic of Korea.
Background: This study evaluates the outcomes of intracapsular enucleation using the retroauricular hairline incision (RAHI) approach for treating cervical vagal schwannomas.
Methods: A longitudinal study was conducted on patients with cervical vagal schwannomas. Eleven patients who underwent RAHI-based enucleation were included.

Schwannoma and angiosarcoma are rare occurrences. Angiosarcoma's occurrence in a preexisting schwannoma is a very rare event with only fifteen cases reported in the literature. We report the sixteenth case of angiosarcoma arising in a schwannoma, a 30-year-old male patient with a long-standing (15 years) history of right neck lump.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on managing tumors involving the vagus nerve, which often don't show obvious symptoms. It highlights various clinical cases and the unique challenges in treatment.
- Five patients with different presentations of vagal nerve tumors underwent surgery, with four experiencing symptom resolution post-operation.
- The findings suggest that innovative approaches, like ligating blood supply to certain tumors instead of complete removal, can effectively alleviate symptoms while preserving nerve function.
Comprehensive analysis of radiological and surgical predictors in cervical sympathetic schwannomas: a novel staging approach and its implications.
Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol

Neuro-Otology, Department of Neurosurgery, SGPGIMS, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India.
Article Synopsis
- - This study focuses on rare cervical sympathetic chain schwannomas (CSCS), aiming to find radiological indicators that could prevent misdiagnosis and help in choosing surgical methods based on tumor characteristics.
- - Researchers analyzed 21 cases, classifying tumors based on their proximity to the carotid sheath, which helped correlate with surgical procedures like vessel ligation and outcomes.
- - Results showed a strong agreement among radiologists on a new tumor classification, highlighting that tumor type influences the need for artery ligation and postoperative complications, underscoring the importance of effective preoperative planning.
Asymptomatic Purely Intracranial Vagal Schwannoma: Clinical Case Report and Literature Review.
Turk Neurosurg
September 2024
Qilu Hospital of Shandong University, Department of Neurosurgery, Jinan, China.
Vagus nerve schwannoma is an infrequently occurring schwannoma, in which a distinct subtype exists wherein the tumor is confined to the cerebellomedullary cistern without invading the jugular foramen. This unique tumor is called purely intracranial vagal schwannoma. In this case report, we present a case of purely intracranial vagal schwannoma in its asymptomatic early phase, incidentally discovered during surgery performed on a patient with hemifacial spasm.
