[Life-threatening complications and severe neurologic sequelae in surgery of acoustic neurinoma].
Surgical treatment of acoustic neurinoma carries a high risk of mortality. Recent history of successful management sparing the facial, mixed, and even cochlear nerves, as well as of a substantially lower incidence of postoperative complications or neurological sequelae, should not give grounds for any false sense of security to undermine one's alertness during the pre, peri- and postoperative phases of the intervention. The overall mortality rate for surgical neurinoma cases was 0.7%. Severe, disabling CNS-related neurological sequelae, chiefly affecting the cerebellum, occurred in 0.4% of cases.
