A Case Report of Hemifacial Spasm Caused by Vestibular Schwannoma and Literature Review

Brain Sciences, 2022
Background: Most cases of hemifacial spasm result from mechanical compression at the root exit zone of the facial nerve by vascular loops, and only a few cases are caused by vestibular schwannoma.

Vestibular schwannoma

Gaceta medica de Mexico, 2012
The vestibular schwannoma is a benign intracranial tumor of the myelin-forming cells of the vestibulocochlear nerve or cranial nerve VIII. It comprises 8-10% of all intracranial neoplasms in adults. It originates in the vestibular portion of the cranial nerve VIII and it is located in the cerebellopontine angle.

Signal and morphological changes in the endolymph of patients with vestibular schwannoma on non-contrast 3D FLAIR at 3 Tesla

BMC Medical Imaging, 2021
Background Non-contrast FLAIR revealed increased signal within the inner ear in patients with vestibular schwannoma, which is generally assumed to occur in the perilymph; however, the majority of previous studies did not differentiate between the ...

Diagnostic Value of Preoperative Electrodiagnostic Analysis in a Patient with Facial Palsy and a Large Vestibular Schwannoma: Case Report

Diagnostics, 2022
Although radiologic methods confirm the diagnosis of patients with large vestibular schwannomas, these methods usually indicate only the size of the tumor and its possible nerve compression.

Vestibular Schwannoma with Contralateral Facial Nerve Palsy: A False Localizing Sign

Indian Journal of Neurosurgery, 2017
Vestibular schwannomas are the most common cerebellopontine angle tumors. These tumors commonly present with ipsilateral dysfunction of acoustic, vestibular, trigeminal, and facial nerves.

Understanding the Symptom Burden of Complex Skull Base Tumors From the Patient's Perspective

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Symptom burden of skull base tumor (SBT) patients, especially those undergoing multimodality treatment, is poorly understood. We aim to understand symptom burden in this patient group using the core module the MD Anderson Symptom Inventory (MDASI).

The tumour immune microenvironment is enriched but suppressed in vestibular schwannoma compared to meningioma: therapeutic implications for NF2-related schwannomatosis

Acta Neuropathologica Communications
Currently there are no therapeutic agents that are effective against both vestibular schwannoma and meningioma, the two most common tumour types affecting patients with the rare tumour predisposition syndrome NF2-related schwannomatosis. This study aimed

Labyrinthine Abnormalities on MRI in Untreated Otosclerosis: Prevalence and Clinical Relevance

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
In untreated otosclerosis with labyrinthine symptoms, delayed 3D FLAIR MRI rarely demonstrates endolymphatic hydrops but frequently reveals blood–labyrinth barrier (BLB) disruption. BLB enhancement is spatially associated with cochlear endosteal and round window involvement and increases with the severity of the hearing loss phenotype.

Simultaneous Acquisition of Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) and Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) Optimized for Human Brain

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Increase clinical acceptance of MRE and DTI by shortening the scan time by half and providing diffusive and mechanical property maps that are inherently co‐registered. This proof‐of‐concept study evaluates the simultaneous DTI‐MRE acquisition in the human brain and compares its results to conventional DTI and MRE measurements.
