Abstract
Hydrocephalus can occur in conjunction with large acoustic neuromas. Cerebral tentorial herniation and brainstem compression can be a complication of surgical excision. Three cases of hydrocephalus and acoustic neuroma are presented and therapeutic options are discussed. Ventriculoperitoneal shunting 1 to 2 weeks before translabyrinthine or suboccipital excision of acoustic neuroma is recommended.Keywords
