AI Article Synopsis
- Four cases involving seven ears were studied to examine metastatic tumors in the internal auditory canal.
- The tumors followed a distinct pattern of invasion into the inner ear, as previously documented in research.
- The study discusses how the length of deafness relates to the degree of tumor invasion, suggesting deafness may result from neural invasion or pressure on a specific area of the inner ear.
Article Abstract
Four cases (seven ears) of metastatic tumour of the internal auditory canal were studied. The histopathological findings confirmed that the inner ear invasion of the tumour follows a unique course, as reported in the literature. Relationship between duration of deafness and extent of tumour invasion in the inner ear is discussed. It is suggested that the deafness could occur via neural invasion or compression near the ductus spiralis foraminosus.
