Hypoglossal Schwannomas are extremely rare benign slow-growing neoplasms, which originate from the 12th cranial nerve. To date, and to the best of our knowledge, only 40 cases of dumbbell-shaped Hypoglossal Swchannomas have been published in the world literature. We report our experience with a 66 years old male patient, who was diagnosed with a solido-cystic lesion at the right cerebello-pontine angle arising from XIIth cranial nerve. He was treated with surgery via midline suboccipital approach which led to sub-total removal of the tumor and improvement of the symptoms within 3 months. This case highlights the importance of an accurate suspicion diagnosis of hypoglossal schwannoma as well as the treatment options including surgery and radiosurgery.

Hypoglossal nerve (HyN) schwannomas are uncommon tumors. The leading symptoms are unilateral tongue weakness and atrophy. The neoplasms are diagnosed by MRI imaging. The surgical treatment of hypoglossal schwannomas (HS) is challenging because the tumor is closely related to brainstem structures, cranial nerves, and arteries of the vertebrobasilar system. Their removal is associated with a high risk of patient disability. This report presents a clinical case study of a 68-year-old patient with an unusual clinical presentation of intradural HS. There were no signs of tongue weakness or atrophy observed in the patient. After the tumor was diagnosed, it was radically removed. This case highlights the importance of early detection and complete microsurgical resection of schwannoma to prevent neurological deficits and ensure a favorable postoperative outcome, thus maintaining the patient's quality of life. Keywords: Hypoglossal nerve, schwannoma, tongue weakness and atrophy, microsurgery.
