Otolaryngologists are frequently confronted with the management of cervical tumors. Neurogenic tumors concern, especially, the cranial, sympathetic, or peripheral nerve sheathes. These tumors are benign and grow slowly. The involvement of the cervical part of the phrenic nerve is exceptional, and only 2 cases are reported in the literature. We describe the first case of a cervical schwannoma involving the accessory phrenic nerve. The anatomy and function of the accessory phrenic nerve are reviewed.
耳鼻喉科医生经常面临颈部肿瘤的治疗问题。神经源性肿瘤尤其涉及颅神经、交感神经或周围神经鞘。这些肿瘤是良性的，生长缓慢。膈神经颈部部分受累的情况较为罕见，文献中仅报道了2例。我们描述了首例累及副膈神经的颈部神经鞘瘤病例。并对副膈神经的解剖结构和功能进行了回顾。
