Vestibular Schwannoma

ABSTRACT
Background
Vestibular schwannoma is a benign brain tumor that predominantly occurs in young adult. Tumors usually occupy
cerebellopontine angle (CPA) and extend ed to cerebellum. The diagnosis is often delayed due to a slow-growing tumor
. Patients with unilateral or bilateral perceptive deafness asymmetric or unilateral tinnitus with unclear etiology must
be explored in order to get rid of vestibular schwannoma. The management includes medication , radiotsurgery, and
surgical treatment . The prognosis quite good , with a recurrency ate of < 5 % .
Case Report
Reported the case of a woman , 30 years old , Javanese , right handed , married, a housewife with a chief complaint of
chronic progressive cephalgia accompanied by symptoms of left ear hearing loss, tinnitus, vestibular vertigo, face
asymetry, left side limb weakness, and ataxia since 5 months before admission. On physical examination found signs of
cerebellar syndrome, and leftside limb weakness . From the MRI found a mass in the left CPA that extended to
cerebellum, accompanied hidrocephalus non communicans and increased intracranial pressure.
By history , physical examination, and investigations, the pastient tend to experience SOL derived from the left CPA.
The management of this patient is steroid therapy and tumor resection . Results of histopathological examination
supports the diagnosis of schwannoma .
Conclusion
It has been reported patient with symptoms of hearing loss, chronic progressive cephalgia, vestibular vertigo,
accompanied by leftside limb weakness and ataxia since 5 months before admission. A collection of signs and symptoms
in this patient consistent with increased intracranial pressure due to the masses in the left CPA that extended to
cerebellum. Management of this patient is steroid and tumor resection.. Anatomic pathology examination result
supports the diagnosis of vestibular schwannoma . During the post-operative care, the patient's condition was
improved. Patients were allowed to go home after the 19th day of treatment . This case is a rare case for young adults,
and the prognosis is quite good if handled with good management.

administration of the contrast, the

NEUROLOGIC FORMULATION
• Female patient, Mrs. K, 30 years old, Javannesse, a housewife, right handed,
married, came with a chief complain of chronic progressive headache since 5 months
ago, preceeded by left ear hearing loss, tinnitus, and vestibular vertigo
intermittently. Since 2 months before admission the pain intensity and vestibular
vertigo became severe. Since 1 month before admission he became unsteady, have to
be carried when walking, accompanied face asimetry, blurred vision.. Since 2 weeks
before admission, she began to have projectile vomiting, severe vestibular vertigo,
and ataxia. Also leftside limb weakness & numbness. Then she was taken by to check
the Panti Rahayu Hospital. She was treated for 2 days, underwent Brain CT scan.
She said she was diagnosed having brain tumor. The Patient then referred to Kariadi
Hospital for the further treatment.
• On physical examination was found vital signs within normal limits. On neurological
examination found the consciousness was composmentis, GCS: E4M6V5, cephalgia
with VAS 6, infanuclear paresis of left N.VII, and dysfunction of the left N.VIII, with
the signs of cerebellar syndrome (+) including ataxia, intentional tremor, dysmetria.
On Investigations of contrast Brain CT scan was noted a space occupying lesion on
the cerebellopontine Angle extended to the cerebellum with increased cranial
pressure.
• The above collection of signs and symptoms consistent leading to increased
Intracranial Pressure from SOL on the CPA.

Observasi
• Pertumbuhan tumor bervariasi antara 0-2 cm per tahun dengan rata-
rata 2 mm
• 38.9-82% have some growth at ≥38 months
• 14 sampai 24 persen dari pasien akan menunggu atau diobservasi
sampai mendapatkan terapi pilihan
• Faktor usia perlu dipertimbangkan:
1. Pasien usia muda dengan ukuran tumor yang kecil
2. Pasien usia tua dengan ukuran tumor yang besar
3. Pasien usia tua dengan ukura tumor yang keil
• MRI tidak boleh dilakukan hanya sekali, perlu diulang setiap 6 bulan
dan kemudian setiap tahun
• Pasien-pasien dengan progresivitas kehilangan pendengaran yang
lama mungkin menunjukkan pertumbuhan tumor yang lebih lama
