Unilateral presentation of vestibular schwannoma with concurrent chronic
middle ear disease or cholesteatoma is rare. We report a case series of
patients with ipsilateral chronic middle ear disease and vestibular
schwannoma, which were simultaneously removed via the enlarged
translabyrinthine approach.
All tumors were near-totally removed, and middle ear disease was
completely excised; there were no major postoperative complications such
as cerebrospinal fluid leakage, cholesteatoma recurrence, or meningitis.
If hearing preservation of the affected ear is not necessary,
simultaneous surgical removal of both pathologies is more convenient
than staged treatment. The enlarged translabyrinthine approach can
achieve complete treatment with one corridor.
