Chorda tympani schwannoma is a very rare tumor, with only 12 reported cases in the English literature. There are few reports on the diagnosis of chorda tympani schwannoma, and it is easily misdiagnosed. At present, surgery is recognized as a treatment for chorda tympani schwannoma. We describe the clinical course of a patient presenting with a chorda tympani schwannoma treated with surgical resection using a transcanal endoscopic approach, and the results after this treatment were satisfactory. Therefore, we accordingly advocate the minimally invasive method of transcanal endoscopic resection to maximize intraoperative visualization and reduce postoperative morbidity for middle ear tumors.

Background: We evaluated the accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) computed tomography (CT)-like sequences compared to normal-resolution CT (NR-CT) and super-high-resolution CT (SHR-CT) for planning of cochlear implantation.
Methods: Six cadaveric temporal bone specimens were used. 3-T MRI scans were performed using radial volumetric interpolated breath-hold (STARVIBE), pointwise-encoding time reduction with radial acquisition (PETRA), and ultrashort time of echo (UTE) sequences.

We have observed two starkly contradictory notions regarding the sympathetic influence on the salivary outflow in discussions with our students. Most of them believe that sympathetic nerves decrease salivation and are antagonistic to parasympathetic nerves. Some students, however, show awareness of the cooperative stimulatory action of both types of autonomic fibers.
