Middle Cranial Fossa Approach to Acoustic Tumor Surgery: Unilateral Acoustic Tumors Confined to Internal Auditory Canal

摘要: A MAJOR principle of acoustic tumor surgery is the removal without producing additional neurologic damage. This finds its ultimate application in case a small confined to internal auditory canal, typically arising from vestibular division eighth nerve, and not yet large enough have produced irreversible pressure damage cochlear division. situation allows surgeon utilize middle cranial fossa approach, thereby avoiding labyrinthectomy preserving, or even improving, hearing.

It apparent that this points out very great need we as diagnosticians become more suspicious these
