title: Audiovestibular findings prior to and after acoustic neuroma surgery.
abstract: We performed a retrospective study of 131 patients who underwent microsurgical removal of statoacoustic neuroma at the University of Wuerzburg. Our goal was to evaluate objective audiovestibular findings prior to and after surgery. Our analysis focused on the evaluation of quantitative parameters in speech and pure-tone audiometry and on the reactivity of the vestibular system.
