Characterizing Hearing Outcomes Following Treatment of Cerebellopontine Angle Meningiomas.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To characterize treatment and hearing outcomes for cerebellopontine angle (CPA) meningiomas with inherent risks of hearing loss and identify predictors of hearing loss for surgically treated lesions.

Design

Retrospective chart review.

Setting

Tertiary care medical center.

Participants

Adult patients with CPA meningiomas impinging upon cranial nerve VIII and/or pretreatment hearing loss managed with microsurgery or stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) with Gamma Knife at our center between 2012 and 2023.

Main outcome measures

Hearing preservation rate was determined from analysis of patients with pretreatment serviceable hearing for whom hearing-preserving treatment was attempted. Surgical patients were further analyzed using multivariable Cox propo
