Methods Of Treatment

A 44-year-old male presented with a facial schwannoma extending into both the middle cranial fossa and mastoid processus. Due to hearing loss, facial nerve palsy and inflammatory changes in CT scan, this patient was misdiagnosed as chronic otitis media. Audiogram showed a right mixed hearing loss with 30–40 dB air-bone gap. In MR, features of the facial nerve neuroma were found. The patient was qualified for surgery to remove the tumor via middle fossa approach, with possible conversion to the retroauricular approach. Ossiculoplasty LC was performed. Diagnostic problems and methods of treatment are discussed.

Early Surgical Intervention

AbstractSchwannomas are benign tumors arising from Schwann cells which are a protective casing of nerves, composing myelin sheath and can develop in any nerve where Schwann cells are present. Most common are vestibulocochlear nerve schwannomas. Facial nerve schwannomas (FNSs) are uncommon tumors involving seventh nerve of which geniculate ganglion involvement is most common. Clinical presentations and the imaging appearances of FNSs are influenced by the topographical anatomy of the facial nerve and vary according to the segments involved. We report a case of 73-year-old man presenting with right side facial weakness of lower motor neuron type involvement. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are clinching the diagnosis. An early diagnosis is important in containing the disease facilitating early surgical intervention.
