Abstract
Parapharyngeal Schwannoma of the cervical sympathetic chain is a rare form of tumor. In most cases, Homer's syndrome follows surgery. On reviewing our department's case records for the past 15 years, we found 7 cases of parapharyngeal Schwannoma. In the two most recent cases, we were able to ascertain the tumor origin by surgical excision from an external approach and were able to make a definite diagnosis of parapharyngeal Schwannoma of the cervical sympathetic chain.
