Abstract
- This article describes two rare cases of vestibular schwannoma extending to the external auditory canal (EAC). Vestibular schwannomas typically arise from the internal acoustic canal and have a slow growth rate, rarely extending to the middle ear extension and even rarer EAC. The article highlights the importance of considering vestibular schwannoma as a differential diagnosis in patients with masses in the EAC and the need for early diagnosis and treatment to prevent potential complications.
