[Peculiarly slow development of several acoustic neuromas. Management].
Thirteen patients presented with neurinomas of particularly slow evolution, including 5 cases with a history of over 20 years chronicity. These cases appear to be more common after 60 years of age and correspond often to stage I and II tumors. The decision to operate to resect the tumors is a difficult one to make, particularly in the bilateral forms.
