神经鞘瘤(neurilemmoma)是来源于神经鞘细胞(或称雪旺氏细胞)的良性肿瘤,本病最早见于Veroca(1908年)的报告。神经鞘瘤在颅内多发于第八对颅神经,后者又叫听神经瘤,在颅外,好发于较大的周围神经干,特别是四肢的屈侧。我科于81年9月治疗一例外颈部神经鞘瘤患者,已经取得满意的手术治疗效果。现报道如下。 The neurilemmoma (neurilemmoma) is a benign tumor derived from a nerve sheath cell (or Schwann cell). The disease was first reported in Veroca (1908). Schwannomas occur in the skull mostly in the eighth pair of cranial nerves. The latter is also called acoustic neuroma. Outside the skull, it occurs in the larger peripheral nerve trunks, especially the flexion of the limbs. In September of the same year, our department treated an exceptional patient with cervical schwannomas and achieved satisfactory surgical treatment. The report is as follows.
