Long-term hearing preservation in vestibular schwannoma.
OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to evaluate the long-term hearing during "wait and scan" management of vestibular schwannomas. SUBJECTS During a 33-year period, from 1976 to 2008, 1,144 patients with vestibular schwannoma were allocated to observation by the wait and scan policy, with annual magnetic resonance imaging and audiologic examination. Two complete pure-tone and speech di...
متن کاملHearing preservation in 2.7 cm vestibular schwannoma.
Hearing preservation is exceedingly difficult in vestibular schwannoma surgery, especially with increasing tumor size. We herein report a case of hearing preservation in a 2.7 cm vestibular schwannoma, where the patient maintained her pre-operative hearing threshold of 55 dB till a year after surgery. Hence, it appears that an attempt at hearing preservation is worth pursuing.

متن کاملDetermining benchmarks in hearing preservation surgery for vestibular schwannoma.
Objectives The objectives of this study were to determine minimal benchmarks of success in vestibular schwannoma hearing preservation surgery, wherein the likelihood of having preserved hearing in a single patient is at least as likely as having created a poor facial nerve outcome for a single patient. Design This is a statistical analysis of published literature. Setting Academic Tertiary Medi...
متن کاملVestibular Function In Vestibular Schwannoma
Introduction: Traditionally vestibular function has been assessed using caloric irrigations; new methods have failed to reach the same level of accuracy. Vestibular nerve dysfunction occurs with 'acoustic neuroma' or 'vestibular schwannoma. Quantitative testing of hearing by audiometry is much more widely available than quantitative vestibular testing, although consideration of vestibular dysfu...
