neuroma/edema

The translabyrinthine approach is familiar to most neurosurgeons and neuro-otologists and is frequently used to remove acoustic neuromas. Some of the complications associated with this surgery include cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks, meningitis, and rarely fat graft prolapse. The authors report a

Postoperative MR findings of eleven acoustic neuromas were analyzed. MRI's were able to clearly visualize residual tumor around the 7th and 8th cranial nerves that were left to preserve cranial nerve function, although conventional X ray CT scans often failed to detect it due to artifacts in the

Traditionally, visual disturbance and optic disc edema are regarded as late manifestations of acoustic neuromas indicating increased intracranial pressure as a result of obstructive hydrocephalus or a sizeable mass lesion. We report the case of a 56-year-old man who presented with visual disturbance

In a prospective study of 12 patients undergoing operation for acoustic neuromas the hearing on the contralateral ear was tested before and systematically day by day after operation. In 11 cases a perceptive loss of at least 20 dB was found at one or more frequencies during the first 2 postoperative

OBJECTIVE To explore the clinical significance of the protection of superior petrosal vein (SPV) in the microneurosurgery for acoustic neuroma. METHODS From January 2009 to July 2011, 149 cases of acoustic neuroma microsurgery were observed. The difference in hematoma in surgical area, cerebellar

Meniere's disease is nearly invariably associated with endolymphatic hydrops (the net accumulation of water in the inner ear endolymphatic space). Vestibular maculae utriculi were acquired from patients undergoing surgery for Meniere's disease and acoustic neuroma and from autopsy (subjects with

OBJECTIVE To describe RMI aspects of leg stump neuroma and to evaluate RMI scan interest for neuroma diagnosis and management. METHODS During a 2 years period, 224 amputated patients consulting for pain or prostetics problems were studied. In 10 cases, a characteristic pain leads to neurona

This 64-year-old woman had undergone endoscopic carpal tunnel release(ECTR)for right carpal tunnel syndrome 16 months earlier. Thereafter, she reported persistent dysesthesia in the thumb and index finger, developed burning pain in the middle and ring finger, paleness, coldness, and edema of the

Electron microscopic evaluation was investigated in surgical specimens of interdigital neuroma. Edema of the endoneureum, fibrosis beneath the perineurium, axonal degeneration and necrosis suggest nerve damage occurs secondary to mechanical impingement in the etiology of interdigital neuroma.

Neurogenic pulmonary edema may be a consequence of a number of diverse central nervous system insults, including resection of an acoustic neuroma. Brainstem lesions in particular seem to cause neurogenic pulmonary edema. Diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion, especially in the case of

OBJECTIVE 1. Evaluate the otolithic membrane in patients with endolymphatic hydrops (EH) and vestibular drop attacks (VDA) undergoing ablative labyrinthectomy. 2. Correlate intraoperative findings to archival temporal bone specimens of patients with EH. METHODS Retrospective case

We report on the uncommon delay of facial palsy in the course of a patient who underwent surgery for a left sided acoustic neuroma. Facial nerve function was preserved without clinical or electrophysiological deficit during the immediate postoperative phase and then lost almost totally over two

Symptomatic neuromas of the sural nerve are a rare but significant cause of pain and debilitation in athletes. Presentation is usually in the form of chronic pain and dysesthesias or paresthesias of the lateral foot and ankle. Treatment traditionally ranges from conservative measures, such as

Multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) type 2B is a rare hereditary disorder characterized by medullary thyroid carcinoma, pheochromocytoma, and neuroma. Early signs of MEN 2B are usually neuroma, gastrointestinal problems, and medullary thyroid carcinoma. Noncardiogenic pulmonary edema is rare as a
