Retrolabyrinthine approach for cochlear nerve preservation in neurofibromatosis type 2 and simultaneous cochlear implantation

Abstract: Summary Introduction: Few cases of cochlear implantation (CI) in neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) patients had been reported in the literature. The approaches described were translabyrinthine, retrosigmoid or middle cranial fossa. Objectives: To describe a case of a NF2- deafened-patient who underwent to vestibular schwannoma resection via RLA with cochlear nerve preservation and CI through the round window, at the same surgical time. Resumed Report: A 36-year-old woman with severe bilateral hearing loss due to … Show more

“…3,7,[14][15][16][17] Decompression of the internal auditory canal (IAC) is a safe procedure for maintaining useful hearing. [18][19][20][21][22][23] Other options for tumor control include partial or total microsurgical resection with intraoperative cochlear nerve monitoring in cases of serviceable hearing, radiosurgery alone or together with surgery, and chemotherapy with bevacizumab, which has led to a decrease in the number of surgical procedures for auditory rehabilitation in recent years. [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31] In cases of severe-to-profound HL in patients with a nonfunctional auditory nerve or with a cochlea ossified or destroyed by prior surgery, an auditory brainstem implant (ABI) remains the only solution.…”
