And Control

Abstract The carbon dioxide laser has been used clinically in both otorhinolaryngology and neurological surgery for approximately 10 years. Only recently, however, have technical modifications allowed its use with the operating microscope, providing the increased precision and control necessary for intracranial surgery. This paper reports the authors' experience with the carbon dioxide laser in the removal of acoustic tumors, details the surgical technique involved, and describes the advantages that may accompany the use of the laser in the removal of these difficult lesions.

Insight Into

The subject was a 47-year-old male with a moderate asymmetrical sensorineural hearing loss that initially presented cochlear signs except for positive stapedius reflex results. Over the course of only five weeks, he developed the audiological constellation of retrocochlear involvement. The retrocochlear results were confirmed by the removal of an acoustic tumor. The results highlight the importance of audiological monitoring and reflex measures in the identification of acoustic neuromas. Several observations provide insight into the apparent relationship between loudness and the stapedius reflex. The findings are discussed with reference to a proposed extension of Borg’s recent theory that elevated reflex thresholds and reflex decay reflect differing degrees of the eighth nerve destruction.
