Abstract

The article presents case studies of a 51-year-female with hearing loss and headache and a 45-year-female who was admitted for left facial paresis and decreased hearing in the left ear. Head computed tomography (CT) scan of the 51 year old revealed an iso- to hypodense mass located in the left middle cranial fossa. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the 45 year old revealed extraaxial mass that occupies middle fossa indicative of greater superficial petrosal nerve (GSPN) schwannoma.
