Abstract

|
|
Neurofibromatosis type II is an autosomal dominant disorder that predisposes affected individuals to the development
of bilateral vestibular schwannomas. The course of hearing loss is particularly important because, with
bilateral involvement, the patient will eventually become deaf, and other disabilities. Clinical management trys to
minimize and delay this morbidity. It has been controversial to determine to wait and see or to try surgical management
for hearing preservation. Especially, decision making in patients with a vestibular schwannoma in the only
hearing ear is challenging. We experienced a case of sudden hearing loss with a nerofibromatosis type II patient
in the only hearing ear. His vestibular schwannomas were treated with stereotactic radiosurgery (gamma-knife)
with hearing restoration.
