Abstract
Although the major diagnostic emphasis today is placed on testing the function of the VIIIth cranial nerve in patients with acoustic neuromas, testing for involvement of the facial-intermedius and trigeminal nerves as well as testing for cerebellar function and optokinetic nystagmus may still deserve their place in the diagnostic armamentarium applied to these patients. Previous (Thomsen et al., 1981) findings were published regarding the facial-intermedius nerve in a group of 59 patients with acoustic neuromas. Presently, findings concerning the trigeminal nerve, the cerebellum and optokinetic nystagmus, were presented.
