Abstract
|

|
Intralabyrinthine schwannoma (ILS) is a rare benign tumor that arises within the membranouslabyrinthine. Since hearing loss is inevitable after tumor removal in most cases, an appropriaterehabilitation method should be considered. A 41-year-old male, who was diagnosedwith ILS underwent tumor removal via translabyrinthine approach, has subsequently experiencedright-side deafness as a result. Seventeen months after the tumor removal, a surgery forhearing rehabilitation was performed. Since cochlear implantation was not doable due to cochlearossification, an active transcutaneous bone conduction implant (BonebridgeTM, MEDEL)was placed at the sinodural angle. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report describinghearing rehabilitation with BonebridgeTM implantation after ILS removal.
