title: Cochleomeatal scintigraphy--a new tool in modern neuroradiological diagnosis of acoustic neuroma.
abstract: Cochleomeatal scintigraphy (CMS) and CT or air CT cisternography are today the methods of choice for the detection or exclusion of a neuro-otologically suspect acoustic neuroma. Whereas CT as a morphological method of investigation provides better preoperative information, CMS is likely to be superior to CT as a functional investigation technique in relapse diagnosis.
