Sympathetic Chain Schwannoma - a Case Report

Publication at Third Faculty of Medicine |

Abstract

In this paper, we present a case report of an asymptomatic tumour of the upper mediastinum, incidentally found by MRI for lateral neck cyst. The tumour was surgically removed, preserving the neck sympathetic fibres.

However, postoperative course was complicated by the Horner's syndrome that spontaneously resolved. A sympathetic schwannoma was confirmed by histology.
