Abstract

Vagal nerve schwannomas are rare, benign neurogenic tumors originating from Schwann cells of the vagus nerve. Due to their rarity and nonspecific clinical presentation, these tumors are challenging to diagnose preoperatively. Here, we present a case of a 30-year-old female diagnosed with a vagal nerve schwannoma, highlighting the clinical, radiological, and histopathological findings, along with the successful surgical management and favorable outcome. This case emphasizes the significance of considering neurogenic tumors in patients with lateral neck masses and the role of imaging modalities in ensuring precise diagnosis and treatment planning.
