[Intracranial neurinoma of the spinal nerve (author's transl)]. 1978

A Pou-Serradell, and J Llovet-Tapies, and E Galito, and J Pascual

A patient aged 56 years has developed a syndrome affecting the last cranial nerves--IX, X, XI and XII--on the left side progressively over the last two years, and, more recently, deafness. Apart from a simple radiological examination all other radiological tests were negative. The diagnosis was made during the surgical operation which revealed a neurinoma of nerve XI (spinal) in its intracranial path. The diagnosis was confirmed histologically. After reviewing the published literature, the authors conclude that this is an exceptional case, which justifies publication and enables differential diagnosis to be made between this tumor and the Jugular Glomus tumor.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008297	Male		Males
D008875	Middle Aged	An adult aged 45 - 64 years.	Middle Age
D009442	Neurilemmoma	A neoplasm that arises from SCHWANN CELLS of the cranial, peripheral, and autonomic nerves. Clinically, these tumors may present as a cranial neuropathy, abdominal or soft tissue mass, intracranial lesion, or with spinal cord compression. Histologically, these tumors are encapsulated, highly vascular, and composed of a homogenous pattern of biphasic fusiform-shaped cells that may have a palisaded appearance.

D001932	Brain Neoplasms	Neoplasms of the intracranial components of the central nervous system, including the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, hypothalamus, thalamus, brain stem, and cerebellum. Brain neoplasms are subdivided into primary (originating from brain tissue) and secondary (i.e., metastatic) forms. Primary neoplasms are subdivided into benign and malignant forms. In general, brain tumors may also be classified by age of onset, histologic type, or presenting location in the brain.

D005925	Glomus Jugulare Tumor	A paraganglioma involving the glomus jugulare, a microscopic collection of chemoreceptor tissue in the adventitia of the bulb of the jugular vein. It may cause paralysis of the vocal cords, attacks of dizziness, blackouts, and nystagmus. It is not resectable but radiation therapy is effective. It regresses slowly, but permanent control is regularly achieved.

D000055	Accessory Nerve	The 11th cranial nerve which originates from NEURONS in the MEDULLA and in the CERVICAL SPINAL CORD. It has a cranial root, which joins the VAGUS NERVE (10th cranial) and sends motor fibers to the muscles of the LARYNX, and a spinal root, which sends motor fibers to the TRAPEZIUS and the sternocleidomastoid muscles.
