  • Title: Hydrocephalus in the patient with acoustic neuroma.
    Author: Steenerson RL, Payne N.
    Journal: Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg; 1992 Jul; 107(1):35-9. PubMed ID: 1528600.
    Abstract:
    Hydrocephalus can occur in conjunction with large acoustic neuromas. Cerebral tentorial herniation and brainstem compression can be a complication of surgical excision. Three cases of hydrocephalus and acoustic neuroma are presented and therapeutic options are discussed. Ventriculoperitoneal shunting 1 to 2 weeks before translabyrinthine or suboccipital excision of acoustic neuroma is recommended.
