| Popis: | This case study describes a therapeutic strategy using a cochlear implant for a bilateral acoustic neuroma deafened patient. The cochlear nerve had previously been sacrificed on one side during tumour removal, but on the remaining side a functioning cochlear nerve was assessed by electric promontory stimulation in spite of a neuroma extending into the vestibular labyrinth. The patient was successfully stimulated with a Nucleus 22- channel implant after removal of the intracanalicular portion of the neuroma via a middle fossa approach. |
