tinnitus/neoplasms

Background: Tinnitus is a subjective auditory phantom phenomenon which can be highly distressing. About 63%-75% vestibular schwannoma (VS) had a symptom of tinnitus.Objectives: To investigate the tinnitus maintenance mechanism from the view of tinnitus change after surgical treatment

Sporadic endolymphatic sac tumor is a very rare neoplasm. It is low malignant, locally destructive and expansive, but non-metastasizing. The tumor is very rare in the sporadic form, but more often associated with Von Hippel-Lindau disease. A 65-year old man with left sided tinnitus and hearing loss

The authors report an underestimated symptom and sign arising in pineal region tumours: tinnitus and hearing loss. It has been observed in 13 out of 72 pineal region tumours (18%). Three illustrative cases are reported in this paper. The inferior colliculi, the structure more dense in fibres than

We identified studies that described use of any patient-reported outcome scale for hearing loss or tinnitus among children and adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) recipients. In this systematic review, we performed electronic searches of

BACKGROUND Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the temporal bone is an unusual but distinct disease entity. The most common presenting symptoms are otalgia, otorrhea, hearing loss, facial palsy, and vertigo. We describe here what we believe to be the first reported case of a patient presenting

The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of modern imaging tools in pulsatile tinnitus, which might be apparent in a variety of different diseases. While computed tomography (CT) and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) have been the methods of choice in the diagnostic management

Tinnitus is common in patients with acoustic tumors and may be the initial symptom leading to diagnosis. We might anticipate that tumor removal would alleviate preoperative tinnitus. However, few have studied this systematically. Further, the effect of tumor removal in those with no preoperative

Head and neck cancer patients treated with high-dose cisplatin and radiotherapy will suffer from hearing deficits. The current low-dose regimen seldom causes hearing threshold decrease. Tinnitus in this patient population has not been investigated earlier. We aimed to evaluate the possible

BACKGROUND It remains unclear whether tinnitus is associated with a higher risk of benign or malignant brain tumors in humans. Therefore, the aim of this secondary study was to investigate the risk of brain tumors in adult with tinnitus using data from a nationwide health claims research

A 58-year-old woman with pulse-synchrone tinnitus was diagnosed with a glomus tumour in the right middle ear.

We present the second known case of a dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) associated with a glomus jugulare tumour in a 66-year-old man and the first with a presenting symptom of pulsatile tinnitus. The tumour occluded the left internal jugular vein at the bulb. Our patient opted for monitoring, but

A total of 311 patients with a unilateral acoustic neurinoma were operated on via the enlarged middle cranial fossa approach. A total tumor removal was achieved in 98% of cases. The mortality was 0.6%. Overall in acoustic neurinoma surgery, the percentage rates of meningitis (1.6%), cerebrospinal

OBJECTIVE Chronic tinnitus is a common symptom after cerebellopontine angle (CPA) tumor removal. Sometimes, the tinnitus is gaze-modulated. In that case, patients can change the loudness or pitch of their tinnitus by ocular movements. During tumor removal by a retrosigmoid craniotomy, the cerebellar

A 22-year-old female presented with a cerebellopontine angle epidermoid tumor manifesting as a rare combination of hemifacial spasm, trigeminal neuralgia, and tinnitus. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated the tumor distorting the brainstem and the fourth ventricle. The tumor was almost
