Parapharyngeal tumors are less common in clinical practice and are often difficult to diagnose upon clinical examination due to the anatomic complexity of the region. We report a rare case of extracranial parapharyngeal space meningioma presenting as a cervical mass with encasement of cranial nerves giving tram track appearance and features on various imaging modalities [Radiographs, Ultrasound, Computed tomography (CT) scan and Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)].
咽旁肿瘤在临床实践中较为少见,由于该区域解剖结构复杂,临床检查时往往难以诊断。我们报告了一例罕见的颅外咽旁间隙脑膜瘤,表现为颈部肿块,伴有颅神经包绕,在各种影像学检查(X线片、超声、计算机断层扫描(CT)和磁共振成像(MRI))上呈现轨道征及相关特征。
