Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Acoustic neuroma is the most common tumour in the cerebello-pontine angle.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: We present the results after surgery in 99 cases, and the natural course of the disease in 82 patients followed for up to 20 years (mean 3 years).
RESULTS: During the observation period, 43% of the tumours increased in size. 36% of patients suffered increasing hearing loss. Total removal was accomplished in 92 cases. In 12 cases hearing preservation was attempted; successfully in five cases. 72 patients had normal or near normal postoperative facial nerve function, whereas 19 patients got a facial nerve paralysis. Two patients died, one because of haemorrhagic infarction and cerebellar swelling, and one because of ventricular fibrillation. Five patients had to be reoperated for CSF leakage.
INTERPRETATION: Acoustic neuroma treatment is still a challenge. We favour a team approach to treat this condition.
