title: Intralabyrinthine schwannomas.
abstract: Intralabyrinthine schwannomas are unusual tumors of the vestibule, cochlea, semicircular canals, or some combination of these three, which in the past have been reported as incidental findings at autopsy or surgery. We summarize eight cases of intralabyrinthine schwannomas diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging at the House Ear Clinic during the past 3 years. We discuss the typical clinical presentation and treatment of cochlear vs. vestibular intralabyrinthine schwannomas.
