Cervical sympathetic chain schwannoma (CSCS) is an extremely rare benign tumor, and it is a diagnostic challenge. We report a case of 45-year-old female who presented with a solitary right cervical swelling with clinical features of Horner's syndrome (HS). She was evaluated with computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and angiography. Surgical excision of the lesion was performed, and the histological examination revealed the diagnosis of schwannoma. Herein, we review the presentation, imaging characteristics, and operative considerations of a patient with a large CSCS, presenting with HS.
颈交感神经链神经鞘瘤（CSCS）是一种极为罕见的良性肿瘤，诊断颇具挑战性。我们报告一例45岁女性，其表现为右侧颈部单发肿胀，并伴有霍纳综合征（HS）的临床特征。对她进行了计算机断层扫描、磁共振成像和血管造影检查。对病变进行了手术切除，组织学检查确诊为神经鞘瘤。在此，我们回顾了一例伴有HS的巨大CSCS患者的临床表现、影像学特征及手术要点。
