Abstract
Intralabyrinthine schwannomas (ILSs) are rare benign tumors arising from the distal part of the cochleovestibular nerve confined within the labyrinth. Patients with ILSs complain of hearing loss, vertigo, tinnitus, and ear fullness. Surgical treatment of ILS is performed in special cases such as in cases of patients with nonserviceable hearing, progressive hearing loss, intractable vertigo, or tumor extension. We present an unusual case of a patient with intralabyrinthine schwannoma who underwent surgery to treat progressive hearing loss and recovered his hearing after surgery.
