Chorda tympani schwannoma is a very rare tumor, with only 12 reported cases in the English literature. There are few reports on the diagnosis of chorda tympani schwannoma, and it is easily misdiagnosed. At present, surgery is recognized as a treatment for chorda tympani schwannoma. We describe the clinical course of a patient presenting with a chorda tympani schwannoma treated with surgical resection using a transcanal endoscopic approach, and the results after this treatment were satisfactory. Therefore, we accordingly advocate the minimally invasive method of transcanal endoscopic resection to maximize intraoperative visualization and reduce postoperative morbidity for middle ear tumors.
鼓索神经鞘瘤是一种非常罕见的肿瘤，英文文献中仅有 12 例报道。鼓索神经鞘瘤的诊断报道较少，易误诊。目前，手术被认为是治疗鼓索神经鞘瘤的方法。我们描述了 1 例采用经耳道内镜入路手术切除鼓索神经鞘瘤患者的临床过程，治疗效果满意。因此，我们提倡采用经耳道内镜切除的微创方法，以最大限度地提高术中可视化程度，降低中耳肿瘤的术后发病率。
