Abstract
In vestibular-schwannoma (VS) surgery, hearing-preservation rate remains low. Besides damage to the cochlear nerve, intraoperative cochlear ischemia is a potential cause of hearing loss. Here, we used non-invasive cochlear microphonic (CM) recordings to detect the cochlear vascular events of VS surgery. Continuous intraoperative CM monitoring, in response to 80-95 dB SPL, 1-kHz tone-bursts, was performed in two samples of patients undergoing retrosigmoid cerebellopontine-angle surgery: one for VS (n = 31) and one for vestibular neurectomy or vasculo-neural conflict causing intractable trigeminal neuralgia, harmless to hearing (n = 19, control group). Preoperative and postoperative hearings were compared as a function of intraoperative CM changes and their chronology. Monitoring was possible throughout except for a few tens of seconds when drilling or suction noises occurred. Four patterns of CM time course were identified, eventless, fluctuating, abrupt or progressive decrease. Only the VS group displayed the last two patterns, mainly during internal-auditory-canal drilling and the ensuing tumor dissection, always with postoperative loss of hearing as an end result. Conversely, eventless and fluctuating CM patterns could be ass...Continue Reading
