Abstract:
A 30-year-old man presented with minute-long episodes of vertigo and severe autophony. CVEMP showed a decreased threshold when testing the left side, potentially indicating SSCD. A subsequent MRI demonstrated a multi-lobulated, cystic mass in the temporal bone and the radiological diagnosis at that time was ELST. Tumor excision was performed, and microscopic examination of the excised material revealed fibrovascular tissue without signs of papillary or cystic projections. The conclusion of the histological assessment rendered a diagnosis of angiofibroma. We were unable to find a previous report of ENA originating around the endolymphatic sac.
