Schwannomas of the parapharyngeal space are rare benign tumors arising from nerves located in the parapharyngeal space. Most of them occur as a mass behind the ascending ramus of the mandible, and bimanual palpation is important in ascertaining their exact location. The anatomy of the parapharyngeal space is described in detail. Treatment of these tumors is surgical through an external neck approach. A combined neurosurgical approach is indicated for tumors extending intracranially. Four cases of parapharyngeal schwannomas are added to the world literature (114 reported), with one extending intracranially through the jugular foramen.
咽旁间隙神经鞘瘤是起源于咽旁间隙神经的罕见良性肿瘤。它们大多表现为下颌升支后方的肿块，双手触诊对于确定其确切位置很重要。详细描述了咽旁间隙的解剖结构。这些肿瘤的治疗方法是通过颈部外侧入路进行手术。对于向颅内延伸的肿瘤，需采用神经外科联合入路。本文向世界文献中新增了4例咽旁神经鞘瘤病例（此前共报道114例），其中1例经颈静脉孔向颅内延伸。
