Accessory Nerve Schwannoma Extending to the Foramen Magnum and Mimicking Glossopharyngeal Nerve Tumor—A Case and Review of Surgical Techniques
Background: Intracranial schwannomas of the accessory nerve are very rare lesions. They are categorised according to their locations into either intrajugular or intracistemal schwannomas although most of them are intrajugular. The intrajugular type constitutes about 2% to 4% of all intracranial schwannomas described in literature. Aim: It’s very unusual for an accessory nerve to mimic glossopha...
متن کاملSpinal accessory nerve schwannoma involving the jugular foramen.
Cranial nerve schwannomas are not uncommon intracranial tumors. Schwannomas arising from cranial nerve XI not only comprise a minority of these neoplasms but may also involve the extracranial segment of the spinal accessory nerve. The clinical presentation of cranial nerve XI schwannomas relates to their location and extent: intracranial, jugular foramen, upper neck, or cervical spine. This rep...
متن کاملAncient Schwannoma of the Trigeminal Nerve Mimicking High Grade Lesion
Ancient schwannomas rarely found in the central nervous system and ancient change in an intracranial schwannoma (intracranial portion of the trigeminal nerve) is extremely rare. A seventy-year man presented with headache of 3 months duration and one episode of generalized tonic-clonic seizures. Imaging findings were suggestive of left temporal high grade lesion. During surgery there was well...
متن کاملThe anatomy of the inferior petrosal sinus, glossopharyngeal nerve, vagus nerve, and accessory nerve in the jugular foramen.
PURPOSE To define the variations of the courses of the cranial nerves and the inferior petrosal sinuses as they enter and traverse the jugular foramen. METHODS Thirty-nine cadaveric specimens containing the jugular foramen were scanned with 1-mm contiguous axial and coronal CT sections. Each specimen was dissected to evaluate the position of the cranial nerves and inferior petrosal sinus as t...
متن کاملSchwannoma of the spinal accessory nerve--case report.
A 60-year-old woman presented with a rare schwannoma arising from a spinal accessory nerve at the C1-2 levels manifesting as cervico-occipital pain. The tumor was removed by surgery with the involved segment of the nerve. She had no postoperative neurological deficit. Histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of schwannoma. Surgical removal is recommended for such cases.
