Simultaneous contralateral vestibular schwannoma and glomus jugulare tumor: a case report.
To the best of our knowledge, only 3 cases of a simultaneous vestibular schwannoma and a glomus jugulare tumor have been previously reported in the literature. In all 3 cases, the lesions were located on the same side. We report a new case of simultaneous vestibular schwannoma and glomus jugulare tumor that is unique in that the two lesions arose on opposite sides. The glomus tumor was treated with embolization followed by radiotherapy, while the schwannoma was managed via radiologic observation.
