The vestibulocochlear nerve (8th cranial nerve) is a sensory nerve. It is made up of two nerves, the cochlear, which transmits sound and the vestibular which controls balance. It is an intracranial nerve which runs from the sensory receptors in the internal ear to the brain stem nuclei and finally to the auditory areas: the post-central gyrus and superior temporal auditory cortex. The most common lesions responsible for damage to VIII are vestibular Schwannomas. This report reviews the anatomy and various investigations of the nerve.
前庭耳蜗神经（第八脑神经）是一种感觉神经。它由两条神经组成，耳蜗神经传递声音，前庭神经控制平衡。它是一条颅内神经，从内耳的感觉受体运行至脑干核，最终到达听觉区：中央后回和上颞叶听觉皮质。最常见的导致第八脑神经损伤的病变是前庭神经鞘瘤。本报告回顾了神经的解剖结构和各种检查。
