Cervical sympathetic chain schwannomas are uncommon benign tumors that usually develop in the retrostyloid compartment of the parapharyngeal space. Differentiating cervical sympathetic chain schwannomas from other lesions of the retrostyloid parapharyngeal space can be very difficult.

Post-surgical neuropathic pain is still an underdiagnosed medical condition with persistent pain occurring in 10-50% of patients submitted to surgery. We present a case of a 52-year-old patient with persistent paracervical, supraclavicular, and upper chest neuropathic pain after the excision of a massive deep right cervical tumor, concluded to be an accessory spinal nerve schwannoma. A thorough physical and ultrasound examination helped conclude injury of the superficial cervical plexus.

Vestibular schwannomas in pregnancy have rarely been reported, and there is a lack of in-depth discussion on the experience of management of massive acoustic neuromas in pregnancy. Herein, we present a pregnant woman with a giant vestibular schwannoma and obstructive hydrocephalus who presented at 30 weeks of gestation. She was initially misdiagnosed as having a pregnancy-related reaction of headache, dizziness, and vomiting that had occurred 2 months earlier.
