A retrospective study of the cervico-facial nervous tumours from the E.N.T. Department of Iassy, Romania, during 1975-1995.

The schwannomas situated at the neck or at the lower part of the skull are rare; very often they appear as on isolated tumoural mass with borrowed symptoms due to the compression of the surrounding structures, signs intra-operation objectivated and anatomo-pathologically confirmed. The authors present statistically the cases of cervico-facial schwannoma hospitalized and surgically solved in the O.R.L. I Clinic Iaşi during 1975-1995, which are 17 cases, statistics that correspond to the others from the specialized literature. The cases were confirmed histologically; there was just one case of malignant degeneration of a double schwannoma. In the following pages we present the last 2 cases of schwannomas hospitalized and solved in the O.R.L. I Clinic Iaşi.
