Hypoglossal schwannoma in the submandibular space
Abstract
Most schwannomas of the hypoglossal nerve originate from the intracranial portion, but they may extend extracranially. Solitary and extracranial schwannomas are extremely rare. We report a case of submandibular hypoglossal schwannoma along with its clinical course and management.
