Tinnitus as the sole symptom of vestibular schwannoma – case report.
Journal Title: Polski Przegląd Otorynolaryngologiczny - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
In this paper, we present a case report of a 26-year-old patient who had been experiencing isolated unilateral tinni-tus for 2 months. Audiologic examinations, such as pure tone, speech and impedance audiometry, ABR and vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) showed no abnormalities. The videonystagmography (VNG) and computerized dynamic posturography (CDP) also showed no pathology. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) was the only test that confirmed the presence of the vestibular schwannoma in this patient. Conclusions: MRI should be considered in pa-tients suspected of having a vestibular schwannoma with unilateral tinnitus as the only symptom, despite normal au-diological test results (with no retrocochlear findings).
