title: Unilateral vestibular schwannoma in a child with prior orbital rhabdomyosarcoma.
abstract: In the absence of neurofibromatosis, vestibular schwannomas (acoustic neuromas) are rarely found in children. We report a case of a 13-year-old boy who presented with unilateral vestibular schwannoma 11 years after resection of an orbital rhabdomyosarcoma. The coincidence of these tumors has not been previously reported.
