Description
We are discussing a case of neurinoma of the tenth cranial nerve in the area of the base of the skull with endocranial extension in a 51-years-old female patients. The first symptom was hoarseness of the voice, and three years later more cranialnerves were involved (V-VII-X-XI-XII). The existence and the extension of the tumor was verified by radiological examination of the base of the skull, carotic angiography, myelography and scanning; the diagnosis was proved by biopsy. The treatment of choice is the operation because the tumor is radioresistant.
