Unilateral vestibular schwannoma in a child with prior orbital rhabdomyosarcoma

Surg Neurol. 1994 Aug;42(2):125-9. doi: 10.1016/0090-3019(94)90372-7.

Abstract

In the absence of neurofibromatosis, vestibular schwannomas (acoustic neuromas) are rarely found in children. We report a case of a 13-year-old boy who presented with unilateral vestibular schwannoma 11 years after resection of an orbital rhabdomyosarcoma. The coincidence of these tumors has not been previously reported.
