Article Synopsis
- Over the past two decades, there has been a growing focus on diagnosing and managing inner ear schwannomas, especially regarding hearing rehabilitation through cochlear implants, but the terminology used to classify these tumors has been inconsistent and complex.
- At the Ninth Quadrennial Conference in May 2023 in Bergen, Norway, experts reached a consensus to standardize terminology, ultimately agreeing on the term "inner ear schwannoma (IES)" to clearly describe tumors affecting the eighth nerve in the cochlea, vestibule, or semicircular canals.
- The newly established classifications break down these tumors into three complexity levels: low (intravestibular, intracochlear), intermediate (with internal
Techniques in Management of Cholesteatoma: Radical and Canal Wall down Mastoidectomy.
Otolaryngol Clin North Am

Canal wall down mastoidectomy is performed when demanded by the extent of disease: presence of a large labyrinthine fistula, extensive erosion of posterior auditory canal wall, prior failed intact canal wall surgery, a contracted, sclerotic mastoid with extensive disease, or need for exteriorization due to inadequate exposure or inability to remove disease safely with a canal wall up approach.
