  • Title: Investigations in electrophysiology and morphology of the VIII cranial nerve.
    Author: Colletti V, Fiorino FG, Carner M.
    Journal: Rev Laryngol Otol Rhinol (Bord); 1993; 114(2):107-11. PubMed ID: 8284550.
    Abstract:
    The morphological and functional changes of the eighth nerve in patients undergoing cerebello-pontine angle (CPA) surgery are under investigation in the ENT Department of the University of Verona. The main aspects of the research are: ultrastructural examination of the eighth nerve in normals and subjects operated on for vestibular or cochleo-vestibular neurectomy and for acoustic neuroma; monitoring cochlear nerve function during CPA surgery by monopolar and bipolar recording of cochlear nerve action potential (CNAPs). The specific aims of this research are: to acquire information on the pathophysiology of a number of peripheral cochleo-vestibular disorders; to evaluate the role of intraoperative recording of the eighth nerve in preserving hearing.
