Synchronous schwannomas of the hypoglossal nerve and cervical sympathetic chain (original) (raw)
1998, American Journal of Roentgenology
AI-generated Abstract
This case report describes a rare instance of synchronous schwannomas of the hypoglossal nerve and cervical sympathetic chain in a 53-year-old woman. The patient presented with two distinct neck masses, which were misinterpreted in prior imaging studies as other anomalies. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) was utilized to properly identify these lesions, leading to their eventual diagnosis. The discussion highlights the importance of considering schwannomas in differential diagnoses for neck masses, given their uncommon occurrence in these regions.
