Abstract
|
|
|
|
This article describes two rare cases of vestibular schwannoma extending to the external audi-tory canal (EAC). Vestibular schwannomas typically arise from the internal acoustic canal andhave a slow growth rate, rarely extending to the middle ear extension and even rarer EAC. Thearticle highlights the importance of considering vestibular schwannoma as a differential diag-nosis in patients with masses in the EAC and the need for early diagnosis and treatment to pre-vent potential complications.
