Our objective in this study is to determine the reduction of rhinoliquorrhea rates by Eustachian tube (ET) obliteration in the context of a translabyrinthine approach performed following vestibular schwannoma (VS) excision.\n\n\t\u00a0\n\n\tMATERIALS and METHODS: This is a prospective study achieved in a tertiary-care center where the chart review revealed 94 VS operated by the translabyrinthine approach between 2009 and 2015. There were 40 males and 54 females aged from 28-76 years. The only exclusion criterion was a previous history of cranial surgery. ET obliteration was systematically executed when the petrous apex pneumatization level was at least 2 of 4. Our main outcome measure was the development of rhinoliquorrhea. \n\n\t\u00a0\n\n\tRESULTS: Eighty-eight patients underwent ET obliteration and were followed for an average of 2.6\u00b11.2 years. Rhinoliquorrhea was reported in 1.14% of the patients having had an ET obliteration. When compared to our previous sample of patients operated with a translabyrinthine approach, it represents a reduction of 84%.\n\n\t\u00a0\n\n\tCONCLUSION: Obliteration of the ET is a fast and simple procedure that reduces the rate of rhinoliquorrhea. We therefore recommend its use, specifically in cases of petrous apex pneumatization levels 2-4.\n\n\t\n\n\t\u00a0\n\n\t\u00a0\n\n\tCite this article as: Moderie C, Maniakas A, Moumdjian R, Alhabib SF, Saliba I.
