Abstract
Schwannomas are peripheral nerve tumors that may impact cranial nerves. We present the case of a 21-year-old male with imaging findings consistent with vagal nerve schwannoma with an atypical symptomatic presentation. A review of the presentation, characteristic imaging findings, differential diagnosis, and treatment of vagal nerve schwannoma is provided.
