A connection between neurovascular conflicts within the cerebellopontine angle and vestibular neuritis, a case controlled cohort study.

This retrospective, observer blinded case-control study aims to compare the prevalence of neurovascular conflicts (NVCs) of the vestibulocochlear nerve and the anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA) in patients presenting with clinical signs of acute vestibular neuritis with and without subsequent objective vestibular function loss (VFL). 58 acute cases of clinically suspected acute vestibular neuritis were investigated with same day cranial MRI at a tertiary referral centre and compared to 61 asymptomatic controls. The prevalence of NVCs in cases with objective VFL were also compared to cases without VFL.

Management of sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma with intracerebral invasion: Clinical experience at a single institution and review of the literature.

Sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma (SNUC) represents less than 1% of all malignancies. Most of the tumors are diagnosed at an advanced stage, when they have already invaded neighboring tissue structures. We describe the cases of 2 patients with a substantial intracerebral extension of SNUC who were treated at our institution.
