The extracisternal approach in vestibular schwannoma surgery and facial nerve preservation [PDF]
The classical surgical technique for the resection of vestibular schwannomas (VS) has emphasized the microsurgical anatomy of cranial nerves. We believe that the focus on preservation of the arachnoid membrane may serve as a safe guide for tumor removal.

Vestibular Schwannoma with Contralateral Facial Nerve Palsy: A False Localizing Sign
Vestibular schwannomas are the most common cerebellopontine angle tumors. These tumors commonly present with ipsilateral dysfunction of acoustic, vestibular, trigeminal, and facial nerves.

A proteasome-resistant fragment of NIK mediates oncogenic NF-κB signaling in schwannomas [PDF]
Schwannomas are common, highly morbid and medically untreatable tumors that can arise in patients with germ line as well as somatic mutations in neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2).

How I Do It: Middle Fossa Approach of Facial Nerve Decompression
We present a reproducible, stepwise middle fossa approach for facial nerve decompression focused on the labyrinthine segment, geniculate ganglion, and meatal foramen, with consistent anatomical landmarks to preserve hearing. The article and video detail patient setup, safe corridor creation, and retrograde drilling with practical tips to avoid cochlear

The molecular pathogenesis of schwannomatosis, a paradigm for the co-involvement of multiple tumour suppressor genes in tumorigenesis [PDF]
Schwannomatosis is characterized by the predisposition to develop multiple schwannomas and, less commonly, meningiomas. Despite the clinical overlap with neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2), schwannomatosis is not caused by germline NF2 gene mutations ...

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 ...

Acoustic Sensing as a Tool for Brain Tumor Diagnostics
Surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensing is used to distinguish non‐neoplastic brain tissue from primary and metastatic tumors based on their acoustic attenuation signatures. Ex vivo human brain samples reveal clear tissue‐specific mechanical profiles, correlating with stiffness and malignancy.
