[Neurinoma of the vagus nerve, contralateral peripheral facial paralysis].
A right facial paralysis led to the discovery of a tumor on the left side of the medulla oblongata. A neurinoma was suspected on MRI and confirmed by surgery and pathological examination. Ultrasonic aspiration was on interest in this case. The mechanism of the facial paralysis is uncertain: ischemia, compression and pure coincidence may be considered.
