Intralabyrinthine schwannoma.
Intralabyrinthine schwannomas are rare tumours which present with symptoms similar to Menière's disease. Preoperative diagnosis is rarely possible and most are found incidentally during labyrinthectomy for persistent vertigo. A further case of this tumour is reported together with a review of the literature.
