Neurofibromas are benign peripheral nerve sheath tumors that occur commonly in individuals with neurocutaneous disorders such as neurofibromatosis type 1. Vagal nerve neurofibromas, however, are a relatively rare occurrence. We present the case of a 22-year-old man with neurofibromatosis type 1 with a neurofibroma of the left cervical vagal nerve. The mass was resected through an anterior approach without major event. In the postoperative course, the patient developed left vocal cord paralysis treated with medialization with injectable gel. We then present a comprehensive review of the literature for surgical resection of vagal nerve neurofibromas.
神经纤维瘤是一种良性周围神经鞘瘤,常见于患有1型神经纤维瘤病等神经皮肤疾病的个体。然而,迷走神经神经纤维瘤相对少见。我们报告一例22岁患有1型神经纤维瘤病的男性患者,其左颈迷走神经有一个神经纤维瘤。通过前路手术切除肿块,未发生重大并发症。在术后过程中,患者出现左侧声带麻痹,采用可注射凝胶进行声带内移治疗。然后,我们对迷走神经神经纤维瘤手术切除的文献进行了全面综述。
