Abstract
A case of neuroma of the intracranial part of the hypoglossal nerve, not associated with neurofibromatosis, is presented. The patient had previously undergone surgery for the removal of a contralateral acoustic neuroma, and subsequent facio-hypoglossal anastomosis. The importance of early diagnosis, pre-operative clinical assessment and post-operative care is stressed.
