Patients with acoustic neuroma in their only hearing ear are not frequently seen in clinical practice. Managing this group of patients is a challenge to both the patient and surgeon. In this study we report on five cases of acoustic neuroma in an only hearing ear. Our decision for conservative management of those patients with regular follow-up using auditory brain stem response and magnetic resonance imaging is discussed. Other management options currently available are reviewed as well.
临床上很少见到仅存一只听力耳且患有听神经瘤的患者。对这组患者进行治疗,对患者和外科医生来说都是一项挑战。在本研究中,我们报告了5例仅存一只听力耳的听神经瘤病例。讨论了我们对这些患者采用听觉脑干反应和磁共振成像进行定期随访的保守治疗方案。同时也回顾了目前可用的其他治疗选择。
