Schwannomas are benign tumors of neural source produced from Schwann cells, which are the constituents and the maintenance of myelin sheath of peripheral nerves. Parapharyngeal schwannoma are sporadic and vagus nerve the one more frequently giving raise to parapharyngeal schwannoma. Those originated in sympathetic neck chain are more rare. We inform about a parapharyngeal schwannoma case of the neck sympathetic chain and perform an analyse of clinic, diagnostical, histological and therapeutical characteristics of this so infrequent pathology.
神经鞘瘤是由施万细胞产生的神经源性良性肿瘤，施万细胞是周围神经髓鞘的组成部分和维持者。咽旁神经鞘瘤多为散发性，迷走神经是引发咽旁神经鞘瘤最常见的神经。起源于颈部交感神经链的神经鞘瘤则较为罕见。我们报告一例起源于颈部交感神经链的咽旁神经鞘瘤病例，并对这种罕见病理情况的临床、诊断、组织学及治疗特征进行分析。
