Analysis of clinical manifestations and imaging features of facial nerve schwannomas
Objective:To explore the clinical manifestations and imaging characteristics,and to clarify the ima-ging value in the diagnosis of facial nerve schwannomas.Methods:Retrospectively analyze the data of 23 patients with facial nerve schwannomas confirmed by surgery and pathology in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology of the First Affiliated Hospital of the Air Force Military Medical University from September 2020 to September 2022,including 8 males and 15 females,aged 18-66 years old.Summarize and analyze their clinical symptoms,specialized examinations,and imaging findings.Results:The clinical manifestations were facial nerve paralysis in 15 cases(2 cases of HB Ⅳ,6 cases of HB Ⅴ,7 cases of HB Ⅵ),hearing loss in 14 cases(5 cases of conductive deafness,2 cases of mixed deafness,and 7 cases of severe sensorineural hearing loss),8 cases tinnitus,7 cases ear pain,4 cases dizziness,4 cases headache,2 cases ear pus,and parotid gland tumors in 6 cases presenting as local masses.Endoscopic examination revealed 8 cases of external ear canal tumors and 3 cases of intratympanic tumors.Combining temporal bone HRCT,MRI enhanced scanning,and CPR imaging techniques,1 case involved the internal auditory canal segment,2 cases in the tympanic segment,6 cases in the parotid gland area.A total of 14 cases involved two or more segments of the internal auditory canal segment,the labyrinthine segment,genicu-late ganglion,the tympanic segment,and the mastoid segment.When the tumors were large,adjacent structures were involved.It was found that 8 cases invaded the external auditory canal and tympanic cavity,ossicles were displaced or bony destruction;3 cases invaded the jugular foramen area,and 1 case grew to the middle cranial fos-sa region with temporal lobe brain parenchymal compression.Conclusion:The clinical manifestations of facial nerve schwannomas are diverse.The combination of various imaging techniques will be conducive to topical and qualitative diagnosis and provide an important basis for treatment strategies.
