  • Title: The vestibulocochlear nerve (VIII).
    Author: Benoudiba F, Toulgoat F, Sarrazin JL.
    Journal: Diagn Interv Imaging; 2013 Oct; 94(10):1043-50. PubMed ID: 24095603.
    Abstract:
    The vestibulocochlear nerve (8th cranial nerve) is a sensory nerve. It is made up of two nerves, the cochlear, which transmits sound and the vestibular which controls balance. It is an intracranial nerve which runs from the sensory receptors in the internal ear to the brain stem nuclei and finally to the auditory areas: the post-central gyrus and superior temporal auditory cortex. The most common lesions responsible for damage to VIII are vestibular Schwannomas. This report reviews the anatomy and various investigations of the nerve.
