Abstract

Objective: Assesment of surgical results of the cystic acoustic neuroma. Patients and methods: A cross-section, descriptive and retrospective study with 35 patients who were diagnosed, surgically treated of cystic acoustic neuroma at Viet-Duc hospital from Jan 2017 to June 2020. Results: mean age: 51.43±12.6 (years); female (37.14%) and there was no significant difference between the male and the female. Tinnitus was the most common symptoms (85,71%) and there was 5.71 percent of patients with facial palsy at diagnosis time. There were sixteen patients (45.71%) of tumor in grade III and IV of KOOS grade classification. The mean diametter of tumors was 38.35±6.25 (mm). The most patients were operated with retrosigmoid approach.  Conclusion: There was no difference in the symptoms in the cystic acoustic neuroma compared the acoustic neuroma. The retrosigmoid approach was the usefulnes and safely procedure, both the level of remove of tumor and facical function preservation.
