PURPOSE: Presentation of three cases of metastatic carcinoma to the internal auditory canal bilaterally, as well as a systematic review of the literature regarding the characteristics of these lesions.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Using a MEDLINE Ovid search (1946-2015), we identified and reviewed 102 cases of metastatic carcinoma to the internal auditory canal. Metrics recorded include: patient age, sex, tumor type, laterality, past oncologic history, co-occurring metastatic sites, clinical findings, radiographic findings, therapy received, and outcome. Cases of unilateral versus bilateral IAC were compared.
RESULTS: Remarkably, 52.9% reported cases of internal auditory canal metastases have bilateral occurrence. The most common primary tumor sites for internal auditory canal metastases were lung (21.2%), skin (18.6%), and breast (16.7%), with lung and skin cancers having the highest rates of bilateral metastasis. Meningeal metastasis occurred at a much higher rate in bilateral cases (47.2%) versus unilateral cases (8.5%). Brain parenchymal metastasis also occurred at a higher rate in bilateral cases (38.2%) versus unilateral cases (19.2%). Outcomes for cases of internal auditory canal metastases are generally poor, with 56.3% of unilateral cases and 86.1% of bilateral cases reporting patient death within 5 years from diagnosis.
CONCLUSIONS: In cases of internal auditory canal metastasis, clinicians should carefully assess for not only contralateral disease but also additional metastatic disease of the central nervous system. Rapid-onset hearing loss, tinnitus, vertigo, or facial palsy should raise suspicion for internal auditory canal metastasis, particularly in patients with a known oncologic history.
