Chemopreventative celecoxib fails to prevent schwannoma formation or sensorineural hearing loss in genetically engineered murine model of neurofibromatosis type 2 [PDF]

, 2017
Mutations in the tumor suppressor gene NF2 lead to Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2), a tumor predisposition syndrome characterized by the development of schwannomas, including bilateral vestibular schwannomas with complete penetrance.

Schwannoma of the cervical vagus nerve: A rare benign neurogenic tumor [PDF]

, 2013
A schwannoma, also known as an acoustic neuroma, is a benign nerve sheath tumor composed of schwann cells, which normally produce the insulating myelin sheath covering the peripheral nerves.

Incorporating Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potential (VEMP) assessment into our clinical practice [PDF]

, 2008
Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials (VEMPs) are short-latency electromyographic responses evoked by intense acoustic stimuli. They are measured in the ipsilateral, tonically-contracted sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscle.

Effect of vestibular loss on head-on-trunk stability in individuals with vestibular schwannoma

Scientific Reports
The vestibulo-collic reflex generates neck motor commands to produce head-on-trunk movements that are essential for stabilizing the head relative to space.

Role of cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (cVEMP) and auditory brainstem response (ABR) in the evaluation of vestibular schwannoma

Brazilian Journal of Otorhinolaryngology
Introduction: Cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (cVEMP) can assess the integrity of the inferior vestibular nerve thereby promising to be a useful tool in the audiological test battery to diagnose vestibular schwannoma.
