Because of extensive interconnections within the auditory pathways, hearing impairment from a central origin is rare. We describe a patient with a large pineal region meningioma in whom hearing loss was the predominant symptom. The patient promptly recovered hearing after the surgical removal of the tumor. The mechanism of this phenomenon is discussed.
由于听觉通路内存在广泛的相互连接,中枢性起源的听力障碍较为罕见。我们描述了一名患有巨大松果体区脑膜瘤的患者,其主要症状为听力丧失。该患者在手术切除肿瘤后听力迅速恢复。本文对这一现象的机制进行了讨论。
