Hearing preservation is exceedingly difficult in vestibular schwannoma surgery, especially with increasing tumor size. We herein report a case of hearing preservation in a 2.7 cm vestibular schwannoma, where the patient maintained her pre-operative hearing threshold of 55 dB till a year after surgery. Hence, it appears that an attempt at hearing preservation is worth pursuing.
在听神经瘤手术中保留听力极其困难,尤其是随着肿瘤体积增大。我们在此报告一例2.7厘米听神经瘤患者听力保留的病例,该患者术后一年听力阈值维持在术前的55分贝。因此,保留听力的尝试似乎值得一试。
