Age, gender, and BMI were not significantly associated with CSF leak. In the two cases with CSF leakage, tumors were isolated to the internal auditory canal (IAC) and both underwent gross total resection. Both CSF leaks were successfully treated with lumbar drain diversion. For the 64 cases that did not have a CSF leak, 51 were isolated to the IAC, 1 was located only in the cerebellopontine angle (CPA), and 12 were located in both the IAC and CPA. 62 patients underwent gross total resection and 2 underwent near-total resection. Mean maximal tumor diameter in the CSF leak group was 4.5\u2009mm (range: 3\u20136 mm) versus 10.2\u2009mm (range: 3\u201319 mm) in patients with no CSF leak (p\u2009=\u20090.03).<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Conclusions\u2003The MCF approach for VS resection is a valuable technique that allows for hearing preservation and total tumor resection and can be performed with a low CSF leakage rate. This rate of CSF leak is less than the reported rates in the literature in regard to both translabyrinthine and retrosigmoid approaches.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0038-1675752","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,26]],"date-time":"2018-11-26T23:58:32Z","timestamp":1543276712000},"page":"437-440","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Cerebrospinal Fluid Leak Rate after Vestibular Schwannoma Surgery via Middle Cranial Fossa Approach"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"80","author":[{"given":"Noga","family":"Lipschitz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery, University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, Cincinnati, Ohio, United States"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gavriel D.","family":"Kohlberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery, University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, Cincinnati, Ohio, United States"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kareem O.","family":"Tawfik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery, University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, Cincinnati, Ohio, United States"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zoe A.","family":"Walters","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery, University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, Cincinnati, Ohio, United States"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joseph T.","family":"Breen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery, University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, Cincinnati, Ohio, United States"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mario","family":"Zuccarello","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, Cincinnati, Ohio, United States"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Norberto","family":"Andaluz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mayfield Clinic, Cincinnati, Ohio, United States"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vincent A.","family":"Dinapoli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mayfield Clinic, Cincinnati, Ohio, United States"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Myles L.","family":"Pensak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery, University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, Cincinnati, Ohio, United States"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ravi N.","family":"Samy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery, University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, Cincinnati, Ohio, United States"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,26]]},"container-title":["Journal of Neurological Surgery Part B: Skull Base"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/products\/ejournals\/pdf\/10.1055\/s-0038-1675752.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,16]],"date-time":"2019-07-16T22:43:37Z","timestamp":1563317017000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/DOI\/DOI?10.1055\/s-0038-1675752"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,26]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"04","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,16]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2019,8]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1055\/s-0038-1675752","relation":{},"ISSN":["2193-6331","2193-634X"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2193-6331","type":"print"},{"value":"2193-634X","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,26]]}}}
