Abstract
|
|
|
|
Vestibular schwannoma often causes ipsilateral hearing loss due to its involvement of the 8th cranial nerve. Therefore hearing rehabilitation as well as tumor control should be considered simultaneously, especially when the patient also has hearing impairment in the contralateral side. Here, we report a 51-year-old patient who underwent contralateral cochlear implant due to temporal bone fracture in huge vestibular schwannoma patient.
