Incidence of postoperative epilepsy after a transtentorial approach to acoustic nerve tumours.

Sixty-nine patients who had neurosurgical treatment for acoustic neuroma by one of two different techniques were studied with a view to determining the incidence of postoperative epilepsy. Fourty-five patients who had larger tumours underwent a combined translabyrinthine and transtentorial neurosurgical approach. For the others with smaller neuromas a translabyrinthine method was used. Only the combined approach was associated with postoperative epilepsy, and it occurred in 22% of the patients. Epilepsy was associated with temporal love trauma during surgery.

Pressure-induced modifications of the acoustic nerve. Part II: Auditory brain stem responses.

The auditory brain stem response is a diagnostic tool commonly used in the evaluation of patients suspected of having an acoustic neuroma. The mechanism by which the auditory brain stem response is altered in the presence of an acoustic neuroma is unclear. In this report, an experimental model is presented as an investigative tool for future studies of this mechanism: acute compression of the nerves of the internal auditory canal in cats stimulates the changes observed in patients with acoustic neuromas.

[Radioisotope encephaloscintigraphy in the diagnosis of acoustic nerve neurinomas].

The results of the employment of radiopharmaceuticals in a group of patients with acoustic neurinomas for diagnostic purposes are described. High diagnostic efficacy of the method of radioisotope encephaloscintigraphy is emphasized, the method permitting to obtain extended diagnostic information. An important advantage of the method consists in its safety and absence of contraindicaions.

[Important aspects of brain stem audiometry (BERA) with regard to the diagnosis of acoustic nerve neuroma].

Starting with a case report, the interest of the BERA for the diagnosis of acoustic tumor is examined. Moreover, factors being able to complicate a clear interpretation of the result (transmissional and sensorineural dysfunctions) are discussed. The conclusion is drawn that the E. Coch. G. offers a factor of greater precision in the use of the BERA as an oto-neurological diagnostic tool.
