The Neuro-otologic Evaluation

Acoustic neuromas (Diagnostic value of testing the function of the trigeminal nerve, the cerebellum and optokinetic nystagmus

“…As mentioned in a previous publication (Thomsen et ai, 1981), it has been established both in animal experiments and in investigations in humans, that the motor (facial nerve) fibres are less sensitive to pressure than the sensory fibres (intermedius nerve). This notion is supported by more recent studies (Pulec and House, 1964;Sheehy, 1968;Thomsen and Zilstorff, 1975), in which it was found that the inter-medius nerve function was more frequently affected than the function of the trigeminal nerve. This is also in accordance with the results from this material, which showed (Table XI) that the nervus intermedius was significantly more frequently affected than the trigeminal nerve, optokinetic nystagmus and motor facial function.…”

The Audiologic Evaluation of Cerebellopontine Angle Tumor Suspects: A Review of Tumor and Non‐Tumor Suspects

“…1 Multiple tests have been proposed to differentiate cochlear from retrocochlear hearing loss. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] Previously useful tests, such as the short-increment sensitivity index and Bekesy audiometry, have been largely abandoned in favor of less subjective and more sensitive examinations. 2.4.5.9.12.…”

Klinik und Diagnostik der Akustikusneurinome

“…149, 161, 179, 181). Auffällig ist beim AN oft die ausgeprägte Diskrepanz zwischen den relativ geringen Befunden im Reintonaudiogramm und dem Sprachaudiogramm (180,184,209 (190,196,197,199), ist aber nicht unumstritten (116,148,166). Die Empfindlichkeit dieser Methode wird von den verschiedenen Autoren mit 72 bis 100 % angegeben (26, 27, 38,40,47,52,66,79,80,112,118,121,134,135',156, 173, 175, 182,206,207 (27,66,103,112,118,182,208…”
