Acoustic neuroma (AN), also called vestibular schwannoma, is a tumor composed of Schwann cells that most frequently involve the vestibular division of the VII cranial nerve. The most common symptoms include orofacial pain, facial paralysis, trigeminal neuralgia, tinnitus, hearing loss, and imbalance that result from compression of cranial nerves V-IX. Symptoms of acoustic neuromas can mimic and present as temporomandibular disorder. Therefore, a thorough medical and dental history, radiographic evaluation, and properly conducted diagnostic testing are essential in differentiating odontogenic pain from pain that is nonodontogenic in nature. This article reports a rare case of a young pregnant female patient diagnosed with an acoustic neuroma located in the cerebellopontine angle that was originally treated for musculoskeletal temporomandibular joint disorder.
听神经瘤（AN），也称为前庭神经鞘瘤，是一种由施万细胞组成的肿瘤，最常累及第七颅神经的前庭分支。最常见的症状包括口面部疼痛、面瘫、三叉神经痛、耳鸣、听力丧失以及因第五至第九颅神经受压导致的平衡失调。听神经瘤的症状可能类似颞下颌关节紊乱症并表现出来。因此，详尽的医学和牙科病史、影像学评估以及正确进行的诊断测试对于区分牙源性疼痛和非牙源性疼痛至关重要。本文报告了一例罕见病例，一名年轻的怀孕女性患者被诊断出患有位于桥小脑角的听神经瘤，该患者最初因肌肉骨骼性颞下颌关节紊乱症接受治疗。
