Hydrocephalus has been identified and surgically treated with ventricular peritoneal shunts in two of 150 patients following translabyrinthine microsurgical removal of acoustic tumors. This problem has prompted a review of the subject of hydrocephalus in general and "otitic hydrocephalus" in particular in relation to contemporary extended temporal bone surgery.
