OBJECTIVE: To describe a case of @entity2477 arising from the @entity4237 , limited to the internal auditory canal. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective case review and review of literature. SETTING: A tertiary referral clinic. INTERVENTIONS: Extended middle cranial fossa surgery. RESULTS: The @entity2695 was completely resected through the extended middle cranial fossa approach. No serious complications occurred, and the hearing and the @entity2103 were preserved. CONCLUSIONS: Originating from the capillary plexus surrounding Scarpa's ganglion, this @entity2695 has to be differentiated from intratemporal @entity2695 at the geniculate ganglion. Because of extrinsic growth pattern, the potential for preservation of the @entity2103 is high if surgery is performed early. Complete resection through the extended middle fossa approach is the treatment of choice for @entity2477 with limited extension into the cerebellopontine angle. It remains difficult to distinguish preoperatively from the more common @entity5 , and surgery is usually planned on assumption of @entity5513 .
