Novel continuous and quantitative intraoperative facial nerve-monitoring system for temporal bone lesions.
Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol

Objective: Intraoperative systems for monitoring facial nerve function, in which temporal electrical stimulation is applied to the facial nerve through electrodes, are used in many surgeries requiring facial nerve preservation; however, continuous stimulation or quantitative evaluation of facial nerve function is difficult with this approach. We examined the usefulness of a continuous and quantitative facial nerve-monitoring system for temporal bone lesions by using our experience to modify the existing methods used for cases involving vestibular schwannomas.
Study Design: Retrospective observational study.
Functional Outcome and Balance Compensation in Patients with Unilateral Vestibular Schwannoma After Surgical Treatment-Short- and Medium-Term Observation.
J Clin Med
January 2025
Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Medical University of Warsaw, Banacha 1a Str., 02-097 Warsaw, Poland.
: The aim was to evaluate vestibular function in patients with unilateral vestibular schwannoma before and in the short and medium term after surgical treatment to analyze vestibular compensation. The identification of the prognostic factors determining incomplete and slower balance recovery was assessed. Forty-five patients with unilateral vestibular schwannoma treated surgically through the middle cranial fossa and translabyrinthine approach were enrolled in this study.

: Vestibular symptoms can severely affect patients with vestibular schwannomas (VSs). Studies assessing vestibular symptoms beyond clinical routine assessment in patients with VS treated by stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) are scarce. Therefore, we employed the standardized questionnaire Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) to systematically evaluate vestibular symptoms prior to and after SRS.

: Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease is an inherited peripheral neuropathy primarily involving motor and sensory neurons. Mutations in INF2, an actin assembly factor, cause two diseases: peripheral neuropathy CMT-DIE (MIM614455) and/or focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). These two phenotypes arise from the progressive degeneration affecting podocytes and Schwann cells.

Schwannomas, benign tumours derived from Schwann cells, exhibit slow growth rates and are commonly found extracranially in the head, neck and extremities. However, intraoral and salivary gland schwannomas are less frequent. Ancient schwannomas, characterised by histological degenerative changes, represent a rare variant.
