چکیده

Parapharyngeal space (PPS) tumors are uncommon and represent just 0.5% of all head and neck tumors. About 50% of PPS tumors have a salivary cause, 20% have a neurogenic root, and the last 30% display as benign and malignant lymphoreticular lesions, metastatic lesions, and carotid body tumors. Among the neurogenic tumors, schwannomas are the most common, with the majority originating from the vagus nerve in the post-styloid compartment.
