Is Proton Therapy Superior to Gamma Knife Radiosurgery for Sporadic Vestibular Schwannoma?

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
With changing practice patterns, radiation therapy for vestibular schwannomas has become an increasingly utilized treatment modality with high tumor control rates. Gamma‐Knife radiosurgery remains a well‐established and readily accessible option with good rates for tumor control, cranial nerve preservation, and hearing outcomes.

Voluminous Laryngeal Schwannoma Treated with Endoscopic Laser Approach [PDF]

, 2020
Laryngeal schwannomas are rare benign encapsulated neurogenic tumors that represent less than 1.5% of all benign laryngeal tumors. We report a case of voluminous laryngeal schwannoma that was incidentally found during endotracheal intubation for ...

Factors Associated With Bilateral Involvement in Non‐Infectious Labyrinthitis: A Case–Control Study

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Non‐infectious labyrinthitis may progress from unilateral to bilateral inner‐ear involvement, resulting in greater functional impairment. In this retrospective case–control study of 50 patients, younger age, female sex, and the presence of systemic disease were associated with bilateral involvement. These exploratory findings may help identify patients

Molecular Biomarkers in Meniere's Disease: A Scoping Review of Current Evidence

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Meniere's disease is a complex chronic inner ear condition that is characterized by vertigo, tinnitus, aural fullness, and progressive hearing loss. Currently, diagnostic strategies remain symptom‐driven, and treatments focus on management of discrete episodes rather than targeting underlying pathophysiology.

Plexiform Schwannoma of the Tongue in a Pediatric Patient with Neurofibromatosis Type 2: A Case Report and Review of Literature

Case Reports in Pathology, 2018
Introduction. Plexiform schwannoma is a rare variant of schwannoma that accounts for only 5% of all schwannomas. Herein, we present a rare case of plexiform schwannoma of the tongue in a pediatric patient with neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2).

Are We Overmonitoring Vestibular Schwannomas? Challenging the Necessity of Tracking Them All

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Increased MRI use for nonspecific symptoms has led to frequent detection of small or incidental vestibular schwannomas (VS), most of which never require treatment. This study aimed to develop and validate a stepwise model to stratify VS patients using early MRI findings and reduce unnecessary long‐term surveillance.
