This case study is based on a true story of a professor who had hearing and balance issues and was subsequently diagnosed with a vestibular schwannoma (acoustic neuroma). As learners label images, generate hypotheses, and think critically about Professor Eric’s diagnosis and surgery outcomes, they explore the anatomy and physiology of cranial nerves V–IX and topics related to myelination, brain meninges, and cerebrospinal fluid flow and blockage. This case was designed for a flipped classroom and includes a pre-class video reviewing key concepts. The in-class portion of the case begins with two large-class discussions, after which students are placed on one of four teams. Each team examines a different stage of Professor Eric’s treatment: presurgical planning, surgery, surgical complications, and his rehabilitation affected by the Covid-19 lockdown. Each team presents their findings to the class, and the class concludes by watching a video of Professor Eric discussing his progress a year after surgery. This case was developed for an upper-division neurophysiology course, but it may be suitable for advanced anatomy and physiology, pathophysiology, or introductory neuroscience courses.
