title: [The preservation of hearing in surgery for acoustic neurinoma].
abstract: The surgical result in one patient with unilateral tumor of the cerebellopontine angle and internal auditory canal is presented. Total tumor removal and preservation of hearing was possible in spite of the size of the tumor. The authors make some considerations about the possibility to preserve a useful hearing in patients with this type of tumors.
