  • Title: Cochlear neuromas.
    Author: Leonetti JP.
    Journal: Am J Otol; 1998 Jul; 19(4):499-502. PubMed ID: 9661762.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to review the clinicoradiographic findings in 16 patients with unilateral cochlear neuromas. STUDY DESIGN: The data included in this presentation were obtained from a retrospective case review. SETTING: The study was conducted at a tertiary care academic institution. PATIENTS: Patients of any age, gender, or race with a unilateral cochlear neuroma participated. INTERVENTIONS: Standard audiometric and radiographic assessment was performed. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Progressive sensorineural hearing loss was measured. RESULTS: Sensorineural hearing loss is out of proportion to the size of the tumor (< 8 mm in all 16 patients). CONCLUSIONS: Gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging in the axial and coronal planes can help identify cochlear neuromas in selected patients with unilateral sensorineural hearing loss.
