* The translabyrinthine approach is considered for acoustic tumors larger than 3 cm and for smaller tumors when hearing preservation is not a concern. In this method the incision is performed behind the ear provides excellent exposure of lateral end of the internal auditory canal and the lateral brain stem and has the advantage to reduce the probability of facial nerve damage.<ref>{{Cite journal

Overview

Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for acoustic neuroma. Patients with age under 65 years, medium to large-grade tumors, significant hearing loss, or higher headache severity scores will have more satisfying outcomes from surgery in comparison with observation. There are three main surgical approaches for the removal of an acoustic neuroma: translabyrinthine, retrosigmoid or sub-occipital, and middle fossa. Selection of a particular approach is based on several factors including the size and location of the tumor and whether or not preservation of hearing is a goal.

Surgery

Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for acoustic neuroma. Selection of a particular approach is based on several factors including the size and location of the tumor and whether or not preservation of hearing is a goal. There are three standard surgical approaches for the excision of an acoustic neuroma:[4][5][6]

Translabyrinthine approach

Retromastoid Suboccipital Approach

  • The suboccipital approach is considered for all acoustic tumors with or without the concern of hearing preservation.
  • Any size tumor can be removed with this approach.[9]

Middle Fossa Approach

  • The middle fossa approach is considered for tumors smaller than 1.5 cm when hearing preservation is optimal.
  • This approach can preserve the inner ear structures.[10]

Below table summarizes and simplifies approaches for the management of acoustic neuroma:

Tumor Size Treatment line Treatment
Tumor < 1 to 1.5 cm
No tumor growth First Observation
Second Focused radiation or surgery
With tumor growth First Focused radiation or surgery
Adjunct Salvage radiation or surgery
Second Observation
Tumor 1.5 to 3cm
No tumor growth First Focused radiation or surgery
Adjunct Salvage radiation or surgery
Second Observation
With tumor growth First Focused radiation or surgery
Adjunct Salvage radiation or surgery
Second Observation
Tumor > 3cm
