Intralabyrinthine Lipoma

چکیده
A 26-year-old man was admitted to our clinic with approximately 8 years history of hearing loss on the right side. The pathological findings were not found in the neuro-otological examination. Severity sensorinoral hearing loss (SNHL) was determined on the pure tone audiometry. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) were shown that the lipomatous lesion involved right cochlea, semicircular canal and internal auditorium canal. Intralabyrinthine lipoma was diagnosed via fat suppression techniques with MRI on T1-weighted images. The patient followed with MRI because he had just SNHL and the lesion minimal involved internal auditory canal.

CT and MR imaging characteristics of intravestibular lipoma.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Intracranial lipomas are uncommon congenital malformations that most often are asymptomatic. A rare subset of intracranial lipomas arises within the vestibule of the inner ear, which can cause sensorineural hearing loss. We present the CT and MR imaging characteristics of lipomas within the vestibule of the inner ear and propose a pathogenetic mechanism for this malformat...
متن کاملCongenital Intralabyrinthine Cholesteatoma
A patient with a congenital intralabyrinthine cholesteatoma is presented. High-resolution computerized tomographic scans and intraoperative photomicrographs display features of intralabyrinthine extension. We discuss pathogenetic theories for the development of congenital intralabyrinthine cholesteatoma. The distinction of this condition from congenital cholesteatoma with labyrinthine erosion i...
متن کاملRecovery of hearing after surgical removal of intralabyrinthine schwannoma.
Intralabyrinthine schwannomas (ILSs) are rare benign tumors arising from the distal part of the cochleovestibular nerve confined within the labyrinth. Patients with ILSs complain of hearing loss, vertigo, tinnitus, and ear fullness. Surgical treatment of ILS is performed in special cases such as in cases of patients with nonserviceable hearing, progressive hearing loss, intractable vertigo, or ...
متن کاملMechanisms of Hearing Loss in Neurofibromatosis Type 2
INTRODUCTION Patients with neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) develop bilateral cochleovestibular schwannomas (CVSs) that cause binaural deafness in most individuals. Hearing loss occurs in an unpredictable manner and the underlying mechanisms are not known. To gain insight into the pathophysiologic basis for hearing loss in NF2, we performed a prospective cross-sectional study of untreated ears in...
متن کاملEffects of Intralabyrinthine Hemorrhage on the Cochlear Elements: A Human Temporal Bone Study.
HYPOTHESIS To compare histopathologic findings in the cochlea of human temporal bones with versus without intralabyrinthine hemorrhage. BACKGROUND Hemorrhagic labyrinthitis can cause sensorineural damage, sudden hearing loss, and vertigo. Yet, to our knowledge, no studies have quantitatively described histopathologic effects of intralabyrinthine hemorrhage on the elements of the cochlea. ME...
