Zusammenfassung Hintergrund Das Incomplete-Partition-Type-III(IP-III)-Syndrom wird durch die fehlende knöcherne Begrenzung zwischen Basalwindung der Cochlea und dem inneren Gehörgang („internal auditory canal“, IAC) definiert. Die Cochleaimplantation kann darin resultieren, dass der Elektrodenträger unbeabsichtigt in den IAC inseriert wird. Das Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, das Langzeitergebnis im Sprachverstehen, Anpassungs- und elektrophysiologische...

Abstract Schwannomas commonly occur in the head and neck but infrequently involve the oral cavity and rarely affect the tongue. The clinical and pathologic features of 19 cases of schwannoma arising in the tongue were analyzed. There were 13 males and 6 females ranging in age from 12 to 82 years (mean 34 years; median 29 years). The majority of tumors presented as an asymptomatic mass localized to the anterior two-thirds of the tongue. Histologically, 18 schwannomas exhibited characteristic...
