Acoustic neuroma: when should one operate?

R A Bertrand

    The Journal of Otolaryngology
    |October 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Management of cerebellopontine angle tumors has evolved, prioritizing earlier diagnosis and treatment. Key goals now include preserving facial nerve function and, where possible, residual hearing.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Otolaryngology
    • Neurosurgery

    Background:

    • Cerebellopontine angle (CPA) tumors require nuanced management strategies.
    • Historical approaches to CPA tumors have evolved significantly over time.

    Observation:

    • A review of 90 CPA tumors over 13 years shows a shift in management philosophy.
    • Advancements in diagnostic techniques and increased awareness facilitate earlier detection.

    Findings:

    • The primary objectives in CPA tumor management are facial nerve function preservation and, when feasible, residual hearing conservation.
    • Optimal treatment involves otolaryngologists, often in collaboration with neurosurgeons.

    Implications:

    • Earlier diagnosis and treatment of CPA tumors improve patient outcomes.
  • Multidisciplinary collaboration is crucial for effective CPA tumor management.
