Intracanalicular neurilemmomas: clinicopathologic study

V Kasantikul, M G Netsky, M E Glasscock

    The Annals of Otology, Rhinology, and Laryngology
    |January 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study of intracanalicular neurilemmonas found tumors are more common in men and on the left acoustic nerve. Early diagnosis and imaging like posterior fossa myelogram are crucial for effective treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Neurology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Intracanalicular neurilemmonas, tumors of the acoustic nerve, present unique diagnostic and management challenges.
    • This study represents the largest reported series, offering insights into their epidemiology and clinical presentation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the clinical characteristics, diagnostic methods, and histological features of intracanalicular neurilemmonas.
    • To identify factors influencing tumor growth and patient outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 25 patients with intracanalicular neurilemmonas.
    • Review of clinical data, diagnostic imaging (including posterior fossa myelogram and CT scans), and histopathological findings.

    Main Results:

    • Tumors were more frequent in men (2:1 ratio), predominantly on the left acoustic nerve, and common in the 30-70 age range.
    • Shorter illness duration was noted in younger patients and those with von Recklinghausen's disease.
    • Posterior fossa myelogram was the most effective diagnostic tool; CT scans were less useful for small tumors.
    • Tumor growth rate was estimated at 1-2 mm/year, with Antoni type A tissue predominant in smaller tumors.

    Conclusions:

    • Intracanalicular neurilemmonas exhibit specific demographic and clinical patterns.
    • Early and accurate diagnosis, particularly with posterior fossa myelography, is essential for managing these tumors.
    • Histological and vascular characteristics influence cerebrospinal fluid changes and diagnostic utility.
