Sato Y, et al. - An appraisal was carried out of the extirpation methods and postoperative neurological complications in parapharyngeal space (PPS) schwannomas.

Yet, intracapsular enucleation possibly appeared to be beneficial by reducing its severity and the incidence of complications unassociated with the involved nerve.
