    Author: Tran Ba Huy P, Hassan JM, Wassef M, Mikol J, Thurel C.
    Journal: Ann Otol Rhinol Laryngol; 1987; 96(4):415-8. PubMed ID: 3619286.
    Abstract:
    An acoustic neurinoma involving the internal auditory canal, the vestibule, the cochlea, the middle ear, and extending into the cerebellopontine angle and the external auditory canal, is described in a 56-year-old woman. An initial episode of vertigo was followed by a 27-year history of progressive unilateral hearing loss leading to complete deafness and areflexia with central compensation. The tumor was removed by a two-step surgical procedure, and the histologic features were those of a schwannoma.
