Diagnosing features of Jacobson's nerve schwannoma.
Jacobson's nerve schwannoma is a rare middle ear tumour presenting as a mass along the cochlear promontory. It can be differentiated from other masses along the promontory based on clinical findings, and computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging features. For small-sized masses, it is possible to differentiate the various middle ear schwannomas from one another. We present the case of a 40-year-old woman with a ten-year history of left hearing loss who was diagnosed with Jacobson's nerve schwannoma.
