Keywords:

Schwannomas of the vagus nerve account for three percent of all head and neck tumours and occur equally in men and women. Patients may present with hoarseness of voice and a slow growing mass on the neck, or not have symptoms. This case report describes a vagus nerve schwannoma diagnosed in a patient after undergoing a computed tomography angiography scan of the neck. The clinical history, radiological findings, epidemiology and treatment are discussed.
