Abstract
In 46 consecutive patients treated surgically for acoustic neuroma and followed for a minimum of two years, there was no operative mortality; 90 per cent returned to their previous level of activity, and all were able to care for themselves. Total removal of tumor was possible in 70 per cent, and radical subtotal removal in another 10 per cent. Facial-nerve function was preserved in 80 per cent, even in some patients with a large tumor.Keywords
