[Neurinoma of the abdominal pneumogastric nerve. Apropos of a case].
Neurinomas of the vagus nerve are rare occurrences, and their localization to the abdominal portion of the nerve are even more exceptional events (two cases published). A case is reported where presenting symptoms were post-prandial abdominal pains of the pancreatic type. The lesion was of the necrotic hemorrhagic type. Radiological examinations confirmed the site and mixed nature of the mass but not its departure point. These patients must be kept under medical observation because of possible development of a non-systematized neurocristopathy.
