The aim of the work is to describe the clinical case of a conservative leech therapy of a neurinoma (schwannoma) of the VIII pair of cranial nerves of the bridge-cerebellar angle.

Materials and Methods

The author’s systemic method of leech therapy (SMLT) is a combination of a hirudopuncture and a homeopathic approach: the principle of small doses and long-term treatment. To prove the effectiveness of the SMLT in the treatment of neurinoma, modern diagnostic tools have been used: MRI, CT, a superposition scanning method of brain (SSM), developed by Ph.D. Kamynin Y.F.

From 1 to 27 leeches per session were used depending on the stage of treatment (adaptation) of the patient. The main points of leech staging are the perianal zone and areas of parasthesia characteristic of the neuroma of the VIII pair of cranial nerves of the bridge-cerebellar angle.
