ABSTRACT Objective Trigeminal trophic syndrome (TTS) is a rare condition caused by trigeminal nerve injury, classically characterized by anaesthesia, paresthesia and facial ulceration. We present two cases of TTS successfully managed with regional nerve blocks and onabotulinumtoxinA. Methods Two patients—a 54‐year‐old woman and a 65‐year‐old man—with a

Dose distribution in a radiosurgery treatment for an acoustic neuroma
Evaluation of the dose distribution delivered in a radiosurgery treatment of an acoustic neuroma using an adapted Alderson phantom and radiochromic film to assess absolute dose. A system was developed to perform the dose measurements, using the Alderson

Anesthesia Dolorosa of Trigeminal Nerve, a Rare Complication of Acoustic Neuroma Surgery
Anesthesia dolorosa is an uncommon deafferentation pain that can occur after traumatic or surgical injury to the trigeminal nerve. This creates spontaneous pain signals without nociceptive stimuli.

Surgical Findings to Differentiate Between Facial Nerve Schwannoma and Vestibular Schwannoma [PDF]
ObjectivesFacial nerve schwannomas may be misdiagnosed as vestibular schwannomas (VSs) if the tumor is confined to the internal auditory canal (IAC) without involvement the geniculated ganglion or labyrinthine segment of facial nerve.

Quantifying the Pressure of Labial and Buccinator Regions Pre‐ and Post‐ Facial Nerve Reanimation
ABSTRACT Background Flaccid facial nerve paralysis (FFNP) impairs oral function and quality of life. Tensor fascia lata slings (TFL) are used to improve oral competence. This study used the Iowa Oral Performance Instrument (IOPI) to measure oral competence in patients with FFNP undergoing facial reanimation.

Gamma Knife treatment planning using knowledge‐based reinforcement learning
Abstract Background Inverse planning is often used for Gamma Knife radiosurgery, allowing clinicians to mathematically specify desired clinical objectives and dose limits. The objectives are controlled by weights that are manually tuned to find the desired trade‐off, which varies from case to case.

Abstract Objective To identify predictors of auditory function in treatment‐naïve vestibular schwannomas (VS) while accounting for age‐related hearing loss, investigating baseline volumetrics and audiometrics in a pre‐intervention stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) cohort. Study Design Cross‐sectional study.

Adjunctive Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy or Intratympanic Steroids in Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss?
Sudden sensorineural hearing loss is traditionally treated with steroids, either orally and/or via intratympanic injections, and hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) has resurged in popularity as an adjunctive therapy. The study has not found any additional treatment benefit with adjunctive concurrent HBOT; however, HBOT might be of value to patients ...
