Binaural hearing aid intervention for a patient with nonserviceable hearing loss after surgery for vestibular schwannoma: A case report.

A vestibular schwannoma is a benign tumor; however, the schwannoma itself and interventions can cause sensorineural hearing loss. Most vestibular schwannomas are unilateral tumors that affect hearing only on one side. Attention has focused on improving the quality of life for patients with unilateral hearing loss and therapeutic interventions to address this issue have been emphasized.

Effective cochlear implantation for idiopathic hypertrophic pachymeningitis with bilateral profound hearing loss: A case report.

Rationale: Hypertrophic pachymeningitis (HP) is a local or diffuse fibrous thickness of the dura mater of the brain or spinal cord, caused by infection or connective tissue disease. Headache is the most common clinical symptom, followed by various cranial nerve disorders such as visual impairment, diplopia, and hearing loss. HP can be classified into secondary and idiopathic.

Intracochlear signal in FIESTA-C and hearings of patients with cerebellopontine angle schwannoma.

Background: Hearing loss in patients with cerebellopontine angle (CPA) schwannoma, is thought to be caused by the damage to the cochlea and the cochlear nerve.

Aim: This study aimed to examine the relationships between the intracochlear signal in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and hearing in patients with CPA schwannoma.

Material And Method: In 79 patients with CPA schwannoma, we retrospectively examined the signal in the cochlea on the affected side was compared with that on the unaffected side to determine signal degradation in fast imaging reagents steady-state acquisition with cycle phases (FIESTA-C) MRI.

Resection of a Large Cavernous Hemangioma Following Preoperative Embolization in a Child's Temporal Bone.

Primary intraosseous cavernous hemangiomas (PICHs) in the temporal bone are very rare. Most treated cases are in adult patients, and there are very few reports involving children. To our knowledge, no cases reported have ever actually adopted embolization in children, although several reports recommend preoperative embolization of the feeding arteries.
