Because of their rarity and the lack of a consistent clinical and radiological pattern, facial nerve schwannomas located at the cerebellopontine angle (CPA) and internal auditory canal (IAC) represent a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for clinicians. In this report, a case of a CPA/IAC facial nerve schwannoma is presented. Contemporary diagnosis and management of this rare lesion are analyzed.

Only eight cases of a lipoma in the parapharyngeal space have been reported. We present a surgical approach that permits safe resection of such unusual tumors. Smith, Jonathan C.; Snyderman, Carl H.; Kassam, Amin B.; Fukui, Melanie B. http://biblioteca.universia.net/ficha.do?id=16434238 A 58-year-old man presented with a sudden onset gait disturbance and urinary incontinence. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and MR angiography showed a fusiform basilar artery aneurysm, 2 cm in diameter and 5 cm long. The aneurysm was thrombosed except the ectatic basilar artery flowing through it. Compression of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pathways caused obstructive hydrocephalus with resultant transependymal CSF leakage. Conventional angiography missed the aneurysm. A one-sided ventriculo...

Patient hospital records, operative video pictures, neuroimaging studies, audiograms, and follow-up data were reviewed. The mean follow-up period was 24 months. Lee, Sun H.; Willcox, Thomas O.; Buchheit, William A. http://biblioteca.universia.net/ficha.do?id=16434241 David, Carlos A.; Catalano, Peter J. http://biblioteca.universia.net/ficha.do?id=16434242 We report a rare skull base neurocytoma. A 44-year-old female with a history of focal seizure and progressive right-sided weakness sought treatment at an outside institution, where she underwent total resection of a “left medial sphenoid wing paraganglioma” in 1984. In 1995 after experiencing intense left-sided headaches for 3 weeks, the patient presented to our institution. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a large local recurrence. She had deficits dating to her initial surgery, including... Kowalski, Robert J.; Prayson, Richard A.; Lee, Joung H. http://biblioteca.universia.net/ficha.do?id=16434243 Pensak, Myles L. http://biblioteca.universia.net/ficha.do?id=16434244 Four patients (mean age, 46 years; range, 28 to 60) with skull base plasmacytomas are presented along with a review of the literature examining the progression of anterior and central skull base plasma cell tumors to multiple myeloma. The primary sites were the nasopharynx, orbital roof, sphenoid, and clivus. Three patients presented with extensive local spread of tumor. Two patients were diagnosed with multiple myeloma and treated with chemotherapy. Patients with an isolated plasmacytoma wer... Wein, Richard O.; Popat, Saurin R.; Doerr, Timothy D.; Dutcher, Paul O. http://biblioteca.universia.net/ficha.do?id=16434245 Sen, Chandranath http://biblioteca.universia.net/ficha.do?id=16434246 Sasaki, Clarence T. http://biblioteca.universia.net/ficha.do?id=16434247 The purpose of this study was to identify the histopathology, location, and latency interval for the development of second malignant tumors (SMT) after successful treatment for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Of 55 patients, four developed SMT after successful treatment of NPC in a single institutional series for an incidence of 7%. An additional 31 patients with SMT after treatment for NPC were identified from the literature. At minimum, all patients were treated with radiotherapy to the pri... Malone, James P.; Levin, Roger J. http://biblioteca.universia.net/ficha.do?id=16434248 We used a simple subcranial procedure that employed nasal endoscopy to resect two anterior skull base tumors. The solid geometry of the deep frontal sinus must be known to determine the appropriateness of this technique. Since 1999 two patients underwent this technique and have exhibited no signs of local or distant disease for 36 months and 32 months, respectively. This approach minimizes visible scarring, provides a wide exposure of the roof of the anterior ethmoid, and reduces the risks of...
