Abstract:
Intralabyrinthine schwannomas (ILS) are rare benign tumours arising from the peripheral branches of the cochlear or vestibular nerves in the membranous labyrinth, intracochlear schwannomas being the most frequent ones. When hearing is no longer feasible on the affected side, surgical removal along with simultaneous cochlear implantation can be proposed to the patient. We hereby present a systematic review of the literature on the topic, as well as two original cases from our centre (Ospedale Università degli Studi di Padova). Cochlear implantation in intracochlear schwannomas is feasible, with overall satisfactory hearing outcomes in accordance with the evidence found in the literature.
摘要:
行囊内神经鞘瘤(ILS)是罕见的良性肿瘤,由膜性迷宫中的耳蜗或前庭神经的外周分支引起,耳蜗内神经鞘瘤是最常见的。当听力在受影响的一方不再可行时,可以向患者建议手术切除并同时植入耳蜗。我们在此对有关该主题的文献进行系统的回顾,以及我们中心(OspedaleUniversityàdegliStudidiPadova)的两个原始案例。耳蜗内神经鞘瘤植入是可行的,根据文献中的证据,听力结果总体令人满意。
