Abstract
The middle cranial fossa surgical approach has been used for the removal of acoustic neuromas in 43 patients at the University of Iowa since 1974. Hearing was maintained in 50% of patients with tumors 1.5 cm or less outside the porus acusticus. Postoperative hearing, facial nerve function, and complications were similar to reports using the suboccipital or retrosigmoid approach to preserve hearing for this size tumor. The character of the tumor appears to dictate the postoperative outcome rather than the surgical approach.
