The aim of the present study was to evaluate semicircular canal function by video Head Impulse Test (vHIT) in patients with facial nerve schwannoma (FNS). Retrospective case review. Tertiary referral center. Seven patients with FNS underwent vHIT examination. The gain in vestibulo-ocular reflex and the presence of catch-up saccade were examined for the semicircular canals including the vertical canals. Dysfunction of the semicircular canals was detected by vHIT in three of seven cases. Nystagmus beating toward the non-affected side was observed in all three cases with semicircular canal dysfunction. Dysfunction was observed in a case with no direct compression of the vestibular nerve or semicircular canals by FNS. Semicircular canal function in patients with FNS could be evaluated by vHIT. vHIT has two advantages for the evaluation of vestibular function in patients with FNS. First, vHIT could be used for the patients in whom a tumor exists in the external auditory canal or middle ear, unlike caloric testing. Second, as vHIT could evaluate all three canals, impaired vestibular nerves could be speculated from vHIT results when a tumor exists in internal auditory canal. vHIT should be performed in patients with FNS, especially before surgery, to evaluate vestibular function.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009442 Neurilemmoma A neoplasm that arises from SCHWANN CELLS of the cranial, peripheral, and autonomic nerves. Clinically, these tumors may present as a cranial neuropathy, abdominal or soft tissue mass, intracranial lesion, or with spinal cord compression. Histologically, these tumors are encapsulated, highly vascular, and composed of a homogenous pattern of biphasic fusiform-shaped cells that may have a palisaded appearance.

D012027 Reflex, Vestibulo-Ocular A reflex wherein impulses are conveyed from the cupulas of the SEMICIRCULAR CANALS and from the OTOLITHIC MEMBRANE of the SACCULE AND UTRICLE via the VESTIBULAR NUCLEI of the BRAIN STEM and the median longitudinal fasciculus to the OCULOMOTOR NERVE nuclei. It functions to maintain a stable retinal image during head rotation by generating appropriate compensatory EYE MOVEMENTS.

D005154 Facial Nerve The 7th cranial nerve. The facial nerve has two parts, the larger motor root which may be called the facial nerve proper, and the smaller intermediate or sensory root. Together they provide efferent innervation to the muscles of facial expression and to the lacrimal and SALIVARY GLANDS, and convey afferent information for TASTE from the anterior two-thirds of the TONGUE and for TOUCH from the EXTERNAL EAR.

D012189 Retrospective Studies Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.

D012665 Semicircular Canals Three long canals (anterior, posterior, and lateral) of the bony labyrinth. They are set at right angles to each other and are situated posterosuperior to the vestibule of the bony labyrinth (VESTIBULAR LABYRINTH). The semicircular canals have five openings into the vestibule with one shared by the anterior and the posterior canals. Within the canals are the SEMICIRCULAR DUCTS.
