Objective: To investigate the diagnosis and treatment of neurinoma of the head and neck.
Method: The clinical data of 33 patients with neurinoma of the head and neck, from 1980 to 2004, were retrospectively reviewed and analysed.
Result: The tumors of all the cases were totally resected. Thirty of thirty-three cases have been followed up. Twenty-seven cases were fully recovered without any serious complication. One case with malignant tumor were died. The other 2 cases were died of other diseases.
Conclusion: Tumor resection is still the most effective treatment available for patients with neurilemmomas of the head and neck. Resection of tumor should be performed as soon as possible with careful protection of the function of the nerve. Extensive resection should be performed to treat malignant tumors.

To describe the distribution of jugular bulb position and pneumatization of posterior lip of internal auditory meatus (IAM) in patients with vestibular schwannoma (VS). This retrospective study included 43 patients who had a thin slice (< 2 mm) CT temporal bone for preoperative planning of retrosigmoid approach for excision of VS between March 2011 and March 2021. On computed tomography (CT), high riding jugular bulb was defined by its relationship to IAM and correlated with type of jugular bulb according to Manjila et al.

Background: Vestibular schwannoma (VS) is a common intracranial tumor that affects patients' quality of life. Reliable imaging techniques for tumor volume assessment are essential for guiding management decisions. The study aimed to compare the ABC/2 method to the gold standard planimetry method for volumetric assessment of VS.

Background Introduction: Vestibular schwannoma (VS) tumors typically present with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). Losartan has recently demonstrated prevention of tumor-associated SNHL in a mouse model of VS through suppression of inflammatory and pro-fibrotic factors, and the current study investigates this association in humans.
Methods: This is a retrospective study of patients with unilateral VS and hypertension followed with sequential audiometry at a tertiary referral hospital from January 1994 to June 2023.
