Acoustic Tumor Surgery and Tinnitus.
A total of 311 patients with a unilateral acoustic neurinoma were operated on via the enlarged middle cranial fossa approach. A total tumor removal was achieved in 98% of cases. The mortality was 0.6%. Overall in acoustic neurinoma surgery, the percentage rates of meningitis (1.6%), cerebrospinal fluid fistula (1.6% requiring surgery), and neurological deficits were fairly low. The facial nerve...
متن کاملFacial reflex examination for assessment of trigeminal nerve involvement in pituitary fossa tumours.
Sixteen patients with pituitary fossa tumours with different intrasellar extension have been studied by facial reflex examination, a neurophysiological test for the trigemino-facial pathway. Impaired transmission along the reflex path was shown in patients with proved encroachments on the flexible walls of the cavernous sinuses, but with no tumour spread to the brain stem and facial nerve. The ...
متن کاملMiddle fossa approach for removal of acoustic neuroma: case reports and literature review

The middle fossa approach was used for the removal of small or intracanalicular tumors, with or without serviceable hearing. The first case presented with severe right sensorineural hearing loss and facial palsy; the second with prog...
متن کاملPreoperative identification of the facial nerve achieved using fast spin-echo MR imaging: can it help the surgeon?
In this issue of the AJNR, Dr. Sartoretti-Schefer et al (page 810) present a novel study investigating imaging of the facial nerve and its relationship with acoustic tumors. They point out that it has been reported in the literature that the facial nerve lies anteriorly to the tumor 98% of the time. With the T2-weighted fast spin-echo MR technique, they could identify consistently the entire co...
