All patients' pre-operative hearing was graded as class one or two according to the Gardner\u2013Robertson scale. On MRI scans, the schwannoma, including the intracanalicular segment, were less than 2\u00a0cm in size in all the patients. The intracanalicular portion involved the fundus of the internal auditory canal in seven patients. In the remaining nine patients, the schwannoma had spread to involve two-thirds of the meatus, sparing its lateral third. The state of the labyrinth, in particular the integrity of the vestibule, was evaluated by CT scans and MRI prior to and following surgery.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0022215107006019_sec3\"><jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title><jats:p>The schwannoma was completely removed in all patients. None showed any signs of persistence or tumoral relapse on the post-operative MRI. The final follow up showed that seven patients had maintained their hearing function (i.e. four patients with class one hearing and three with class two). The MRI vestibular signal on the T2-weighted images was well depicted only in patients with hearing preservation. Bony vestibular integrity was observed in the CT scans of all cases with hearing preservation, and also in three cases with failure of hearing preservation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0022215107006019_sec4\"><jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our results confirm that total isolation and maintenance of an anatomically intact vestibule, as depicted by MRI examination, is one of the fundamental factors for successful preservation of hearing function following modified translabyrinthine approach schwannoma removal.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0022215107006019","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,2,26]],"date-time":"2007-02-26T09:01:26Z","timestamp":1172480486000},"page":"736-741","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Modified translabyrinthine approach and hearing preservation: imaging evaluation"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"121","author":[{"given":"G","family":"Magliulo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A","family":"Stasolla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"D","family":"Parrotto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M","family":"Marini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,2,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0022215107006019_ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF01401972"},{"key":"S0022215107006019_ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1227\/00006123-199111000-00007"},{"key":"S0022215107006019_ref14","first-page":"45","article-title":"Translabyrinthine surgery of acoustic neurinoma","volume":"360","author":"Tos","year":"1979","journal-title":"Acta Otolaryngol Suppl (Stockh)"},{"key":"S0022215107006019_ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/00016489109130440"},{"key":"S0022215107006019_ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1288\/00005537-198904000-00009"},{"key":"S0022215107006019_ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005537-200303000-00006"},{"key":"S0022215107006019_ref1","first-page":"394","volume-title":"Imaging of the Temporal Bone","author":"Tong","year":"1998"},{"key":"S0022215107006019_ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0196-0709(00)80048-4"},{"key":"S0022215107006019_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/19714009970100S104"},{"key":"S0022215107006019_ref4","first-page":"500","article-title":"Hearing preservation in acoustic neuroma surgery: middle fossa versus suboccipital approach","volume":"8","author":"Sanna","year":"1987","journal-title":"Am J Otol"},{"key":"S0022215107006019_ref19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005537-200406000-00034"},{"key":"S0022215107006019_ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0887-2171(03)90035-7"},{"key":"S0022215107006019_ref10","first-page":"259","article-title":"Endoscopy of the internal auditory canal during hearing conservation tumor surgery","volume":"14","author":"McKennan","year":"1993","journal-title":"Am J Otol"},{"key":"S0022215107006019_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/019459988809800207"},{"key":"S0022215107006019_ref20","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/000348948809700110"},{"key":"S0022215107006019_ref18","first-page":"533","article-title":"Translabyrinthine approach to skull base tumors with hearing preservation","volume":"14","author":"Hirsch","year":"1993","journal-title":"Am J Otol"},{"key":"S0022215107006019_ref21","first-page":"47","article-title":"Constructive interference in steady state (CISS)-3DFT MR imaging of the inner ear and cerebellopontine angle","volume":"14","author":"Casselman","year":"1993","journal-title":"Am J Neuroradiol"},{"key":"S0022215107006019_ref9","first-page":"307","article-title":"Acoustic neuroma recurrence after suboccipital resection: management with translabyrinthine resection","volume":"17","author":"Roberson","year":"1996","journal-title":"Am J Otol"},{"key":"S0022215107006019_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1288\/00005537-198011000-00003"},{"key":"S0022215107006019_ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0022215100114768"},{"key":"S0022215107006019_ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archotol.1968.00770010633011"}],"container-title":["The Journal of Laryngology &amp;
