頸部腫瘍のうち,迷走神経に発生する神経鞘腫は稀なものである。本邦では,大正15年関口1)による第1例以来現在まで12例の報告1)〜11)を数えるのみである。われわれは最近3例の頸部迷走神経鞘腫を経験したので報告し,加えて本邦症例を集計して考察した。
Three cases of the schwannoma of the vagus nerve in the neck were reported.
Case 1. A 50-year-old woman, with a painless mass in the left neck and progressive alsy of the left V, VIII, IX, X and XII brain nerves within 2 years, was adimitted to our hospital as the left acous-tic tumor. The left carotid arteriography showed a narrowing and anteromedial displacement of the cer-vical course of the internal carotid artery. At opera-tion, the tumor was found to be arising from the left vagus nerve and expand intracranially through the left foramen jugulare, which was totally removed partial sacrifice of the vagus nerve.
Case 2. A 36-year-old woman, had a chief com-plaint of tumors of the right supraclavicular fossa and right thigh present for 8, 2 and 1/2 years, res-pectively. At operation, tumors arising from the right vagus nerve, right brachial plexus and muscler fibre of the right femoral nerve, were completely extirpated with excision of the vagus nerve. Micro-scopically all tumors were equally schwannoma of Antoni type A.
Case 3. A 56-year-old man, with a painless mass in the right neck of 3 years' duration. He coughed always by the manual compression of the mass. At operation, a tumor arising from the right vagus nerve between internal jugular vein and common carotid artery, 27g of weight, was removed. The nerve was involved.
In Japan, 15 cases of schwannoma of the vagus nerve in the neck including our 3 cases had been reported, 10 men and 5 women, 6 left and 9 right sided. Twelve cases were older than 30 years of Age. Every case had a single tumor except our case 2. The main complaints were the painless mass in the neck. Cough-reflex by compression of the mass was seen in 5 cases, which seemed significant clinical sign. No recurrence was reported after the surgical removal of the tumor, but in almost all cases ipsilateral vocal cord palsy persisted, many of which tend to improve.
