A case of neurilemmoma of the vagus nerve in the neck is described, in which excision with preservation of the nerve was possible. Attention is drawn to the typical clinical picture presented by these tumours. Recognition of this should make it possible to suspect the diagnosis preperatively and so greatly reduce the risks of operative damage to the vagus nerve
