Schwannomas of the eighth cranial nerve are rare in children. We report a 4 10/12 - year-old girl with no evidence of neurofibromatosis who presented with facial droop. Radiographic studies revealed a large cerebellopontine angle tumor. At surgery, the tumor was attached to the eighth cranial nerve and histologically was a schwannoma. This is the youngest reported case of unilateral eighth cranial nerve schwannoma in a patient without the stigmata of neurofibromatosis.
第八颅神经鞘瘤在儿童中较为罕见。我们报告一例4又10/12岁女童，无神经纤维瘤病迹象，表现为面部下垂。影像学检查显示桥小脑角有一个大肿瘤。手术中，肿瘤附着于第八颅神经，组织学检查为神经鞘瘤。这是报道的最年轻的单侧第八颅神经鞘瘤病例，患者无神经纤维瘤病体征。
