This study aimed to review the clinicoradiographic findings in 16 patients with unilateral cochlear neuromas.
The data included in this presentation were obtained from a retrospective case review.
The study was conducted at a tertiary care academic institution.
Patients of any age, gender, or race with a unilateral cochlear neuroma participated.
Standard audiometric and radiographic assessment was performed.
Progressive sensorineural hearing loss was measured.
Sensorineural hearing loss is out of proportion to the size of the tumor (< 8 mm in all 16 patients).
Gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging in the axial and coronal planes can help identify cochlear neuromas in selected patients with unilateral sensorineural hearing loss.
