Jugular Foramen Schwannoma Revealed By Unilateral Deafness
Journal Title: Journal of Case Reports and Studies - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Jugular foramen schwannomas arising from cranial nerves IX, X, and XI are uncommon pathological conditions, slowly growing benign tumors that constitute approximately 2.9 to 4% of all intracranial schwannomas [1,2]. Jugular foramen schwannomas represent 10-30% of all tumors observed around the jugular foramen [3,4]. The standard primary treatment for jugular foramen schwannomas is total surgical removal [5,6]. However, there is significant morbidity that results from extensive surgery and complex anatomical location. In the literature, there are a few published studies on radiosurgery for jugular foramen schwannomas [7-10]. The present study report a 28-year-old woman diagnosed with jugular foramen schwannomas who underwent gamma knife radiosurgery (GKS) in the IBN ROCHD university hospital of Casablanca, Morocco.
