The current study aims to characterize the natural history of sporadic vestibular schwannoma volumetric tumor growth, including long-term growth patterns following initial detection growth.Volumetric measurements from 3505 serial MRI studies were analyzed unselected consecutive patients undergoing wait-and-scan management at three tertiary referral centers between 1998 and 2018. Volumetric was defined as a change in volume ≥20%.Among 952 observation, 622 experienced with growth-free survival...
Previous cross-sectional studies analyzing quality of life (QOL) outcomes in patients with sporadic vestibular schwannoma (VS) have shown surprisingly little difference among treatment modalities. To date, there is limited prospective QOL outcome data available comparing baseline to posttreatment scores.Prospective longitudinal study using the disease-specific Penn Acoustic Neuroma Quality Life (PANQOL) scale.Large academic skull base center.Patients diagnosed unilateral VS who completed a...

To evaluate the impact of prolonged auditory deprivation on speech perception outcomes in adult acquired single-sided deafness (SSD) cochlear implant (CI) recipients.Retrospective case series.Tertiary care academic center.Acquired SSD adults with and without duration (defined as >10 yr) who underwent CI between 2014 2019.CI.Consonant-nucleus-consonant (CNC) AzBio quiet scores within first year follow-up.A total 35 patients were evaluated, a median overall 2.4 years (interquartile range [IQR]...
An otherwise healthy 24-year-old female presented with progressive right sided hearing loss. Otoscopy revealed a fleshy pink mass within the middle ear, but normal cranial nerve examination and nasopharyngeal scope. Audiometric testing demonstrated mild conductive MRI 7-cm centered at jugular foramen, extension into cerebellopontine angle without significant brainstem compression as well involvement of carotid space. The lesion was avidly enhancing central necrotic changes hypoperfusion on...
Objective Present the rationale for development of a new, patient-facing vital sign adult hearing. Study Design Structured A3 process. Setting Fourteen virtual meetings and two in-person held between May 2021 June 2022. Main Outcome Measure(s) Identification refinement countermeasure to develop imbed hearing health Results Through rigorous, structured process, Hearing Health Collaborative identified refined qualities associated with public-facing loss. Specifically, such must embody five...
Evaluate outcomes following primary endoscopic stapes surgery.Retrospective case series.Two tertiary otologic centers.Eighty-one ears with surgically confirmed fixation.Total stapedotomy or stapedectomy.Surgical and audiologic outcomes.Eighty-one subjects were included (60% women) a median age of 47.6 years (range, 19.1-73.6 yr).

Phosphaturic mesenchymal tumors (PMTs) are neoplasms associated with tumor-induced osteomalacia. Patients typically present pathologic fractures in the setting of chronic hypophosphatemic hyperphosphaturic osteomalacia, as well gradual muscle weakness, bone pain, and difficulty walking. Because their rarity nonspecific symptomatology, phosphaturic often go undiagnosed for years. Even when discovered on imaging, can be diagnostically challenging radiologists. tend to small located nearly...

ABSTRACT Over the past two decades, there has been increasing interest in diagnosis and management of schwannomas inner ear including hearing rehabilitation with cochlear implants. However, tumor nomenclature classification within literature have variable oftentimes cumbersome. The term “intralabyrinthine schwannoma” is common use when describing these tumors but a potential source confusion given that people often “labyrinth” or “labyrinthine” to refer vestibular component only (i.e.,...
