title: [Possibility of hearing preservation treatment by patient suffered from neurofibromatosis type 2: case report].
abstract: The main tumor of cerebellopontine angle are vestibular schwannoma (80-90%). Most of them are unilateral lesion but 5% of them are bilateral pathological mass. There are genetic disease like neurofibromatosis type 1 and 2. According to National Institute of Heath Consensus Development Conference the best treatment method is microsurgery. The possibility of hearing preservation surgery give middle fossa approach and suboccipital approach, radiotherapy or auditory brainstem implants and cochlear implants. The aim of the study is case report of the patient suffered from bilateral vestibular schwannoma. Early diagnosis and therapy enable hearing preservation and good facial nerve function.
