Extended Vestibular Schwannoma Presenting as an External Auditory Canal Mass: Two New Cases and Review of the Literature

초록

This article describes two rare cases of vestibular schwannoma extending to the external auditory canal (EAC). Vestibular schwannomas typically arise from the internal acoustic canal and have a slow growth rate, rarely extending to the middle ear extension and even rarer EAC. The article highlights the importance of considering vestibular schwannoma as a differential diagnosis in patients with masses in the EAC and the need for early diagnosis and treatment to prevent potential complications.
