An endolymphatic sac tumor (ELST) is a tumor of neuroectodermal origin. Although several cases have been reported in Korea, it is known to be very rare. Clinically, it grows slowly but shows an aggressive pattern accompanied by bone destruction pathologically. As the tumor grows, it shows symptoms due to endolymphatic hydrops such as hearing loss, tinnitus, and dizziness. In this paper, we report a case in which an ELST was found in a patient suffering from profound sensorineural hearing loss, tinnitus, and dizziness, who turned out to be an enlarged vestibular aqueduct syn-drome.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
