Gamma Knife Stereotactic Radiosurgery for Nonvestibular Cranial Nerve Schwannomas.
BACKGROUND Nonvestibular cranial schwannomas represent a rare type of benign intracranial tumor. Few studies have evaluated the use of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) as a primary management option for these lesions. We performed a retrospective review of our institution's experience focusing on efficacy with regard to tumor control and clinical symptom stabilization as well as treatment safety...
متن کاملMajor nerve schwannomas vs intramuscular schwannomas
Background: A schwannoma is a benign peripheral nerve tumor. Predicting the involvement of a nerve on symptoms or MR findings is crucial to the diagnostic process. Purpose: To compare symptoms, MR findings, and histological findings between major nerve schwannomas and intramuscular schwannomas. Material and Methods: Thirty-four patients with 36 schwannomas (29 major nerve schwannomas and 7 intr...

It also called nerilemmona,neurinoma spindle cell tumor etc. Extra cranial Head and Neck schwannomas usually present as solitary and well demarcated lesions. The lesion can cause secondary symptoms such as nasal obstruction,dysphagia and hoarseness, depending upon the lo...
متن کاملEndoscopic endonasal approach for nonvestibular schwannomas.
BACKGROUND Nonvestibular schwannomas of the skull base often represent a challenge owing to their anatomic location. With improved techniques in endoscopic endonasal skull base surgery, resection of various ventral skull base tumors, including schwannomas, has become possible. OBJECTIVE To assess the outcomes of using endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) for nonvestibular schwannomas of the sk...
متن کاملThe different faces of facial nerve schwannomas.
Facial nerve schwannomas are rare benign tumors. The tumor can arise anywhere along the course of the facial nerve. The most common presentation for this tumor is a slowly progressive facial nerve paralysis. Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) and tinnitus are later symptoms. The symptoms and signs depend on the site of tumor along the nerve. We report three cases of facial nerve schwannomas with...
