Transoral or parapharyngeal approach to remove sporadic skull base schwannoma.

Sporadic schwannomas of the skull base are rare. We present two cases with sporadic schwannoma of this region that pose diagnostic and therapeutic problems. The first patient (female, 40 years of age) developed an extensive vagal schwannoma with deviation of the internal carotid to the medial side. A transoral extirpation of the tumour was chosen to allow for surgery without visible scars. A se...

Cutting corners cheaply, or how to remove Steiner points

Our main result is that the Steiner point removal (SPR) problem can always be solved with polylogarithmic distortion, which answers in the affirmative a question posed by Chan, Xia, Konjevod, and Richa in 2006. Specifically, we prove that for every edge-weighted graph G = (V, E,w) and a subset of terminals T ⊆ V , there is a graph G′ = (T, E′, w′) that is isomorphic to a minor of G such that fo...
