The translabyrinthine approach for acoustic neuroma and its common complications.
A retrospective analysis of 15 cases intracanalicular acoustic neuroma that undergone tumour excision by translabyrinthine approach spanning from August 1996 until December 2002 is presented. The main presenting complaints are unilateral hearing loss (100%) and tinnitus (86.7%). The mean age of presentation was 48.5 years old. Magnetic resonance imaging is the most important investigation tool ...
متن کاملNeuromuscular choristoma of the internal auditory meatus.
Choristomas of the internal auditory meatus are exceedingly rare tumors. In most cases, neuromuscular choristomas have initially been misdiagnosed as vestibular schwannomas (VS). No known characteristics in the clinical presentation or in imaging exist distinguishing these tumors from VS, which are the most common tumors at this location [Smith et al.: AJNR Am J Neuroradiol 1997;18:327-329]. We...
متن کاملRetrosigmoid versus translabyrinthine approach to acoustic neuroma resection: A comparative cost-effectiveness analysis.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Approach-specific economic data of acoustic neuroma (AN) resection is lacking. The purpose of this study was to analyze and compare adjusted total hospital costs, hospital and intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay (LOS), and associated factors in AN patients undergoing resection by translabyrinthine (TL) approach versus retrosigmoid (RS) approach. STUDY DESIGN Retrosp...
متن کاملPrognostic significance of changes in the internal acoustic meatus caused by vestibular schwannoma.
The prognostic significance of the variety of changes in the internal auditory meatus (IAM) caused by vestibular schwannoma was retrospectively analyzed in 69 consecutive patients with vestibular schwannoma. Preoperative bone-window computed tomography was used to classify IAM changes into extensive destruction (17%), widening (46%), and normal IAM (36%). Extensive destruction (47 +/- 19 years)...
