Introduction And Objectives: Vestibular schwannoma is the most frequent cerebellopontine angle tumor. The aim of our study is to reflect our experience in the surgical treatment of this tumor
Material And Methods: Retrospective study of 420 vestibular schwannomas operated in our hospital between 1994-2014. We include tumor size, preoperative hearing, surgical approaches, definitive facial and hearing functional results, and complications due to surgery.
Background: The purpose of this study was to reflect our experience in the management of multicentric head and neck paragangliomas, including genetic study and counseling, diagnostic tools, types of treatment, and the need for monitoring.
Methods: A retrospective review of 24 patients with multicentric paraganglioma, including a total of 60 paragangliomas: 37 carotid body tumors, 13 jugulotympanic paragangliomas, and 10 vagal paragangliomas.
Results: A total of 26 surgical procedures were performed, including the resection of 36 paragangliomas.
Introduction: Head and neck paragangliomas are rare tumours of a neuroendocrine nature. The aim of this study was to show our experience in the management of these kind of tumours.
Methods: This was a retrospective study of head and neck paragangliomas diagnosed between 1978 and 2014.
Introduction: Vestibular schwannoma (VS) is a benign, slow-growing tumour originating in the 8th cranial nerve. The treatment includes microsurgery, stereotactic radiotherapy and conservative management of tumours with periodic radiological tests.
Methods: This was a retrospective study of patients with VS following conservative management in a tertiary hospital between 1993 and 2013.
