Schwannomas of the head and neck are the most common form of benign nerve sheath tumours, most commonly arising in the form of vestibular schwannomas. Schwannoma of the nasal cavity is an uncommon presentation of this pathology and specifically Schwannoma of the nasal septum is a rare presentation of this well understood disease process. We present the case of a 31-year-old Eastern European mal...

Schwannoma is a benign peripheral nerve sheath tumor originating from Schwann cells. Most intracranial schwannomas arise from vestibular nerve and schwannoma in the suprasellar region is extremely rare. A 64-year-old man presented with walking disturbance and blurred vision for three months. Lateral hemianopsia in the left eye and brachybasia were observed. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To evaluate the vestibulo-ocular reflex and its relationship with subjective balance in a long-term follow-up after vestibular schwannoma surgery. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohorts study in a tertiary referral hospital. Forty-nine consecutive patients on which vestibular schwannoma surgery was performed at least 1 year before. METHODS Patients are classified in accord...

Background: Our aim was to confirm the usefulness of the perilymphatic signal changes on T2-weighted (T2W) gradient-echo sequence to differentiate vestibular schwannomas from internal auditory canal (IAC) meningiomas, through a compartmental analysis of inner ear fluids signal intensity. Methods: A total of 203 patients with all criteria for typical vestibular schwannoma on T1-weighted contrast...

Introduction. Patients must be fully informed about their disease, different variants of the treatment complications and prognosis to make decisions accept treatment. The most important they should able remember this information. aim study was studying level learned information by patients upcoming surgery “removal vestibular schwannoma”.
