ABSTRACT
El neurinoma del acústico es el tumor benigno más frecuente a nivel del ángulo pontocerebeloso (ACP), que provoca lesiones de tipo compresivo en las estructuras cerebrales adyacentes a su recorrido, manifestándose habitualmente por una hipoacusia neurosensorial, acúfenos con o sin vértigo unilaterales, por lo que debe conocerse la amplia variedad clínica con que se presenta desde su inicio, entre ellas como una parálisis facial. Presentamos el caso de un schwannoma vestibular en una embarazada diagnosticado por una parálisis facial periférica
Acoustic neurinoma is the most frequent benign tumour at the cerebellopontile angle. It causes compressive type lesions in adjacent cerebral structures. Its usual symptoms are sensorineural hearing loss and tinnitus with or without unilateral vertigo, which is why we have to know the wide variety of clinical signs it can present from its beginning, including facial palsy. We present the case of a vestibular schwannoma in a pregnant lady diagnosed by a peripheral facial palsy
